Baseline Frameset - OBED Bikes

Baseline Frameset

Conquer Any Route

From rush hour to golden hour, it’s always the right time to hit the open road. Cruise through the concrete jungle or head out beyond civilization on an epic all-day trek. With room for wide tires and the confident control of disc brakes, the Baseline is made for taking on a good challenge and trying new routes just to see where they lead.

This Bike Is For You If...

You're looking for a versatile road bike that's just as capable in the peloton as it is on the morning commute. If you prefer an IPA after your ride rather than a protein shake, this is probably the road bike for you. Our bikes are not gender specific. We offer sizing to cover all body shapes and types.

What should I do if I am between on two sizes?

If you can achieve your required seat height with both bikes sizes, then you can pick based on your riding preference or style. The smaller frame will be more nimble while the larger bike may feel higher and faster. LiveChat with us or email us for help finding the right size.

How do I mount accessories onto my Obed?

Our Baseline and Boundary models have various mounting points for a multitude of accessories available on the market. 

For nutrition and hydration, our water bottle and top tube storage mounts can be used with most 2-hole accessories designed for M5 x 0.8mm mounts spaced 65mm apart. The screws provided with the frame are 10mm long and should be replaced with longer screws should your accessory mounting bracket be more than 3mm thick.

At the rear of the bike, we have provided fender and light rack mounting points.  Unlike many metal bikes which may have open ended mounting points, our carbon fiber frames have closed end mounting points.  This requires special attention to the length of screw when mounting racks and fenders with various thickness attachments.  Should the accessory mounting point be more than 2mm thick, source screws that are 10-13mm longer than the thickness of the item you’re attaching. 

For fork mounted accessories, the same rules apply as mounting to our seatstays and dropouts.

We recommend a 20lb load weight limit.

Explore the details

The Baseline comes with tubeless-ready wheels and tires and is shipped set up tubeless with sealant from the factory. 

The Baseline fits tires up to 700c x 38mm wide.

The Baseline is our most versatile entry-level all-road bike, built for riders who want to explore mixed-surface roads. It uses a purpose-built frame with robust yet compliant carbon lay-up, and geometry tuned for comfort, making it perfect for long-distance adventures and general road and light gravel riding.

The Baseline features endurance geometry. With a slightly taller stack height for a more upright and relaxed riding position, it provides a confident and comfortable fit without sacrificing responsiveness or speed. 

If you're on the border of two sizes, the right size may depend on certain body measurements and your riding style. Feel free to contact us at any time regarding sizing questions - our product specialists are experienced with finding riders the right fit by cross-referencing your information with our fit database.  

If you're not transferring measurements from a similar bike, to get completely "dialed in" for maximum performance, we recommend you see a reputable professional bike fitter that can fit you to your new bike.

To modify the GVR for external routing, submit a custom component request.

Custom requests can be submitted through the “Component Requests” box in our bike builder, or you can contact us at any time to inquire about custom requests. A member of our team will reach out for additional information. All custom requests are subject to availability, and additional charges may apply.

To mount your OBED bike to a direct drive stationary trainer, follow these steps:

1. Shift into the bike's hardest gear

2. Remove the rear thru axle

3. Remove the rear wheel

4. Place the frame onto the direct drive trainer, ensuring the chain falls onto the cassette and the rear axle dropouts are aligned with the trainer hub end caps.

5. Reinstall the rear thru-axle and tighten.

Notes:

We recommend shifting into the hardest gear before removing the rear wheel to make it easier to remove the rear wheel and position your bike for installation on the trainer.

Mounting a bike to a direct drive trainer is very similar to installing a rear wheel. You may need to swing the rear derailleur back to direct the chain onto the cassette cogs. If you have a rear derailleur with an adjustable clutch, turn the clutch off to be able to articulate the rear derailleur.

Ensure the rear axle dropouts of the frame are aligned with the endcaps on the trainer, and that the chain is properly routed before reinstalling the rear axle and using your direct drive to prevent damage.

Ensure the rear cassette on your direct drive trainer is compatible with your bike's drivetrain to prevent damage. (E.g., you must use a 12-speed Shimano cassette with a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain and a 12-speed SRAM cassette with 12-speed SRAM drivetrains.)
