Bauer Weltmeister randonneur. A beautiful bicycle.
Founded as Bicycle and metal works L Bauer and Co circa 1911 in Frankfurt, Germany, Bauer started in the production of bicycles and motorcycles from 1914 on. They remained in this business until they eventually shut down their facilities in 1968. They supported a racing team and single riders well into the 1950s. Their most famous success were the UCI world championships in 1952. Two of their riders made it to the podium, with Heinz Müller and Ludwig Hörmann coming in first and third.
In the following years, the Bauer Weltmeister was the top model of this German brand until the late 1960s. Many young racers in Germany longed to own a Bauer bike.
But not only racing bikes were made by them, they also produced a wide range of sports touring bikes. The lugged steel frame shows a typical long touring geometry and is equipped with some top of the line high-end parts of the era, such as Huret gearing, Weinmann brakes and the renowned Simplex Crankset.
