$24,950 AUD.
Hmm, let me consider. The Baum or: A) Fitting my whole house with new double glazed windows B) Re-modelling the entire kitchen including new Italian appliances C) A second car for our one car family D) A high quality solar system for the house .. .... ...... Hello? Baum? Yeah I'd like to place an order... |

I guess that is where the bespoke bike industry is gonna go. A few 20k builds a months should pay the bills.

These might be the musings of a Wall Street banker after his 200K yearly bonus/stock sale.
Hmm, let me consider. The Baum or: A) Just bought my third house in Aspen. Should I buy two snowmobiles for the 2 weeks that I am there yearly? B) Should I re-remodel my Italian kitchen with German appliances? C) Second Panamera for my son's GF? D) A solar panel for my second house in Seattle even though the sun came up only 30 days this past year? What the heck, Baum it is. With the money I save, I'll just go Down Under to pick it up.

With the folks who buy Baums, the price is a feature.

Well, I was frankly trying to figure out what the marketing BS with this bike meant…ChatGPT to the rescue:
The bike is super cool and easy to ride. It's like a shiny new toy that's really smooth and nice. It has a simple front part where you hold on, like holding hands with a friend. And even though it's new, it still looks fancy and timeless, like a beautiful picture in a book. I think even funnier for 20k I want a Modern Classic, not a Moden Classic |

Kevin Systrom bought a Baum after he sold Instagram to Facebook. I don't think he was phased by the price.

This Baum looks very nice in the pictures. But I'm numb to all these expensive bikes. I get the same sensations when I ride a $3K bike or a $6K bike.

Price aside, I wonder if he patented the design?
Also, prices have continually went up. I actually put windows in my house in 1997 for….$1700 |

At the potential for new patients on account of that steerer ****ery? There's no way anyone would certify hacking into a CF steerer like that, then bonding an insert, a la AlphaQ. They should've done this right and had custom forks designed with that channel co-molded to preserve the integrity of the layup.
You'd have to be a fool to buy that hack without seeing some serious safety testing figures from Baum. |
