2008 – Better performance and better value

As the European show season draws to a close, and we head into summer, what better time to announce a series of new models, and new prices.

We're committed to continual improvement and innovation in our 100% in-house frames, and every year we prototype and test a range of new ideas and processes thoroughly before any new products are available for sale. We might not be the first to market, or the biggest, but we want to make sure that what we sell really is the best.

Combine this with a greater global awareness of the baum brand, how this helps build a better relationship with the top component makers, plus the impact of the strong Australian dollar and we've been able to provide a number of important upgrades to our in-house frames and complete bike packages.

Here's an example of some of the new prices on offer – check out the full 2008 road pricing schedule for more information.

  • Complete custom bikes from $3950 (Shimano Ultegra SL), $4350 (SRAM Force) and $4,200 (Campagnolo Centaur)
  • Complete custom titanium bikes from A$6150 with Shimano, A$6550 with SRAM and $6,400 with Campagnolo
  • Complete bikes with Edge Composites full carbon clincher wheels and top-end groupsets from $8,250
  • Complete bikes with Lightweight carbon wheels and THM cranks from $11,900

Keep it simple. Keep it fair.

Our prices are based on the model of frame you choose. Whether you select a road, track, Audax or touring frame, a 29'er, or a single speed, the price is the same at each level.

All models are available as a frame only – faced, chased and ready for assembly – as a frameset (frame, fork and headset), or as a complete assembled bike. The tables in the pricing charts show typical prices for complete bikes with our recommended parts selection.

Of course, you're also welcome to choose the parts you prefer. We're always able to secure a fair price and guarantee the quality of our assembly. Please call us to discuss your individual component preferences and we'll be happy to provide a quote.
