Baum Corretto titanium climbing bike, hand-built in 2018 by Above Category Cycling in Sausalito, CA. If you know Baum, you know this is one of the most sought-after custom builders in the world – the Corretto is their flagship road model, built for climbing performance and sublime handling.
This bike was a dream build - over $20,000 total with parts, paint, and labor and has only a few hundred miles of use since new. It’s essentially in showroom condition.
Build Highlights:
- Frameset: Custom Baum Corretto titanium, painted in gloss black with Baum’s signature custom detailing (headbadge stripes, pump peg, and personalized paintwork)
- Cockpit: ENVE compact road bar, custom painted by Baum
- Groupset: SRAM Red eTap WiFli electronic shifting (11-speed)
- Power Meter: Quarq DFour91 with Dura-Ace chainrings (36/52)
- Brakes: eeCycleWorks G4 calipers (front + rear, lightweight and powerful)
- Wheelset: Zipp 303 Firecrest clinchers laced to Chris King R45 ceramic hubs (handbuilt)
- Tires: Vittoria Corsa G+ gumwalls (barely used)
- Bottom Bracket + Pulleys: CeramicSpeed upgrades
- Saddle & Tape: Custom Busyman recovered saddle + Busyman bar tape
Extras: Spurcycle bell + saddle bag, King titanium cages, custom-painted SILCA frame pump
Why sell? This was a passion project that has seen very little riding because of health reasons. I'd love to see it go to someone who will truly enjoy it.
Condition:
- Like-new, meticulously cared for, stored indoors
- A few hundred easy road miles only
- No crashes, no damage
Price: Given the $20K+ build cost and mint condition, I’m asking $3,200 OBO. For the right buyer, this is a rare opportunity to own a near-new Baum at a fraction of the cost and without the 12–18 month wait time.
