I picked up a Bauer recently as a fixie candidate, chainstay protector said 'Handmade in New Zealand'

The one I found was a Bauer 'Momentum 1000', built from Reynolds 500 Cro-Mo, sold by Lifecycle in Brisbane, Oz originally. I'd never seen one before, then after I bought it I saw an identical one watching a crit, and another frame only at Bicycle Revolution.

Specs: Full 300EX groupset, 14 speed, Biopace and 170mm cranks, dual pivot brakes, Sakae steel bars with 'Modolo anatomic bend', 100mm stem, Rigida 13-20 rims, Viscount saddle on fluted post. Rear dropouts were 126mm wide and have threads for adjustment screws, only 20mm long, but another 10mm that wasn't milled out.
