AURUM Bikes anyone, discuss?

Basso / Contador makings.

Seems like they climb pretty good

If it comes with special jamon or prosciutto, I'm in.

No doubt...

AFAIK, they aren’t available in the U.S.

Would be so awesome if Lance came out with his own line of bikes.

Then he, Contador and Basso can get into marketing pissing matches.

Various models named after their preferred pharma.

Think of the forum threads!

They seem like fine bikes, albeit a bit expensive. It seems like their strategy for differentiation is based on the personalities of contador and basso. That's not a bad thing, I like the guys, and it's cool to see retired pros take on entrepreneurial endeavors. I hope they are successful, though I can't imagine ever buying one of their bikes myself, at least not at the current retail price.

Cippolini has better marketing.

I see what you did there, well played!

Although I see that my comments can have 2 meanings.
My initial comments were not made sarcastically, or trying to throw shade on Contador and Basso.
My comment was referring to one of their riders winning the Zoncoloan stage that day the post was posted.

Very much on display at the Giro today. Look nice. Anyone have?

@bon_gabs has one, bought it in Spain and it may be the first one that arrived on these shores.

I bought my Aurum from barcelona 2 years ago and first in the US back then since its not available yet,but now there’s a dealer in Florida,I have bikes come and go for many years but the Aurum really fits me well,,my best bike so far.

15.8 lbs. on the scale.

I like them. Aesthetically, I prefer frames where the seat stays and the top tube meet on the seat tube.

Just be careful if it comes with a steak.
