The B01’s geometry and RFC technology are fixed — they’re the foundation. But one frame doesn’t mean one type of rider. That’s why the B01 comes in three build philosophies, five configurations total.

Timeless — the classic (Shimano GRX Mechanical)
The Timeless customer wants a premium bike that lets them keep a predictable shifting feel. At a time when most modern bikes have moved away from mechanical drivetrains altogether, this rider stays passionate about direct contact with their bike’s mechanics. They want to travel to remote places, where cable-actuated parts can be fixed on the spot — without worrying about being stranded by a problem they can’t solve themselves.
In practice: Shimano GRX Mechanical, a competitive weight (no motor, no battery), and a clean look where the exposed cable routing highlights the frame’s craftsmanship. The build includes a handlebar and seatpost from Bjorn — Slovenian artisans known for their carbon and aluminum components — and RT40 or GT24 Lifetime wheels: carbon rims made in Montréal, straight titanium spokes, titanium freehub bodies.
The highlights for this rider: total repairability (a cable can be swapped from Gaspé to Patagonia), competitive weight, and an aesthetic that echoes classic craftsmanship.
Lifetime — the modern balance (Shimano GRX Di2 or SRAM Force AXS)
The Lifetime customer has realized they’re investing in cycling for the long haul. They’ve developed a real passion for the sport, and while they appreciate our values, neither the Timeless nor the Hors Catégorie quite matches what they’re after: they want a durable bike that stays with them for years, able to enhance their current riding while preparing them for whatever comes next — adventures, long rides, off-the-beaten-path routes.
This is the heart of our lineup: the precision of electronic shifting, whether from the Shimano ecosystem (GRX Di2) or SRAM’s wireless architecture (Force AXS), paired with the durability of the B01 frame. Both options deliver a reliable, long-lasting solution, from training rides to the most demanding outings — the choice between the two comes down to ecosystem preference, not a performance trade-off.
Hors Catégorie — the ultimate (Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR or SRAM RED AXS)
The Hors Catégorie customer wants an exceptional bike, made locally, that sets them apart. This bike isn’t built for UCI competition — so why worry about UCI restrictions? This is our most demanding customer: they want an ultra-high-performance machine that makes no compromises on weight or prestige.
Plenty of sub-6.8kg bikes already exist. This customer knows that well. What matters to them isn’t just weight: it’s a bike that stays aesthetically coherent, performs the way an innovative machine should, and doesn’t look like a weight-weenie forum exercise. In practice: the lightest, highest-performing groupsets in the industry — Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR or SRAM RED AXS — mounted on our 3D-printed titanium joints.

Bottom line
Three chapters, one conclusion: the B01 is a frame engineered down to the smallest detail — its RFC technology, its geometry, and now its five builds — to match who you are as a rider, without ever compromising on what makes a Baumier a Baumier. Full spec sheets (detailed parts lists per build) are available on request.
