Quit it birthday boy, you’re ruining my illusion.
rAdelaide is more Colnago, Pinarello and Mcipollini. Too many lawyers and dentists riding roadies.
Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Llewellyn, Kumo or Primate here.
Saw a Baum once. Guy was a tool. So I could be the second tool with a Baum in rAdelaide 
Prodigy Pete from BMC-R has a Baum but I’ve never seen it, and he’s not a tool.
Got these from Treadly bike shop today. No idea what they are, apparently they’re Tokyo Bike brand.
Very Cinelli Priest / Velo Orange Milano-esque. Slight rise, 25.4 clamp, 22.2 diameter.
Putting them on the Cannondale Rack.
after the last 2 pages who cares.
The funny thing is… Baum’s do nothing for me.
I wouldn’t buy one either but… I like nice bikes and I’d be very surprised if this wasn’t a very nice bike at the end of the day…
As long as he doesn’t paint it purple that is… Or brown…

What??
sat behind one tonite on the ride home. looked like a bike, was orange with naked stays. guy riding it looked happy.
I also have a Ken Evans, so cross that off the list of requirements. And a Hillbrick, so that’s another Aussie builder. Oh shit, and Rach’s Peter Bundy.
I got a Perkins and my flatmate a Geoff Scott

and fwiw Even hipsters are over 1" threaded headsets these days. Only beardos give a shit about them now… kinda like cable-knit jumpers bro.
I didn’t say I didn’t like modern frames, but Baums’s are just there. They don’t do it for me.
Different strokes etc.
Here’s a modern bike I really like.
I hear ya. I’d like a bike that was built like a Baum but that looked like a Hufnagel.
… The Baum Rapha bike is the ugliest Rapha bike to date. Man I hate Rapha.
I can see where you’re coming from, for a minute there, I thought that THIS was that Hufnagel!
Anyway… what music should I stop listening to? What have hipsters stopped listening to?
I think the main thing is I don’t like the Baum paint work.
But that’s just me.
I don’t like Tame Impala or Bon Iver either, and people love them.
Baby poo brown, guess it’s a hipster thang.
Comes complete with you’re grandpa’s cardigan?
Funny thing is … quill stems don’t do anything for me.
But to keep on topic.
This, hedging my bets, have one is 32mm - bought one today in 35mm.
2010 model so it’s only B&W - no red, or purple, or Vikings or beards.
The two cardigans I own are navy and grey, both bought new from Country Road. I do have a beige v-neck jumper though. Also new, also from Country Road.
Anyway, enjoy riding your new Baum.
FWIW, this Baum was kicking around Adelaide for a while too.
Hmmm… I’ll take the baby poo brown and the cardigan. But not one from COUNTRY ROAD… FARRCK that place is pure WASP.
