Titanium Lugs, Braided Carbon, and the New Boutique Standard

There is something visually arresting about the intersection of raw materials on the new Baumier B01. We’ve seen lugged carbon frames before, but Baumier is mixing braided carbon tubes with 3D-printed titanium lugs, all manufactured entirely in-house in Quebec. It creates an aesthetic that feels half-organic, half-industrial—like a skeleton built for speed. While the headline is the material science, the real story for me is the supply chain; seeing a brand control the entire process, from bio-based resin injection to final assembly right here in North America, is increasingly rare and worthy of attention.

It is undeniably a halo product—with a price tag hovering around the $20,000 mark—but it signals a fascinating shift in how boutique builders are leveraging additive manufacturing to tune ride quality. It’s an "all-road" machine in the truest sense, meaning it’s built for the kind of mixed-surface riding most of us actually do, assuming you can stomach the entry fee.

Curated Specifications

• Tire Clearance: 42mm. This is the "Goldilocks" number for modern all-road riding—enough for light gravel, but tight enough to keep the geometry sporty on pavement.
• Construction: 3D-Printed Ti Lugs + Braided Carbon. The titanium offers durability at the junctions, while variable wall thickness allows Baumier to tune the stiffness of the carbon tubes specifically for ride feel.
• Origin: Made in Montreal. From the carbon layup to the assembly, it is a rare example of total North American vertical integration.
