any particular reason you went star nut instead of compression plug? weight saving?
Awesome! so you have a complete bike coming from Baum and the blue one that you’re building up separately?
Alu sleeve bonded into carbon steerer… sounds pretty tough!
That’s what 3T supply with the fork and in Darren’s experience it’s best to go with the manufacturer’s solution.

Ryan tells me the pics will be on the Baum photostream Monday.
Phwoar.
Times two!
Now you just gotta get the Engine up to tune to match the hardware bro!
Very nice,
yes!
Looks great!
This looks good.
I think I want a Baum now.
Green accent on bartape is a small but significant detail that sets this off. (thumbs up)
I usually think baums look shithouse but that is hot as hell.
The blue frame is up on the Baum Cycles Flickr photostream but no signs of the complete.
The downtube is just ridik…
I still haven’t pulled the cranks off my current roadie. Been doing stuff around the house 
jeebus, lucky sob.
Think you will ride them equally?
Blue!
No. Probably use the blue bike as a Sunday ride, country rides and long rides - 100km plus.
Other bike will get ridden most days along #notbeachrd here.
So back to 5:30am starts once day light saving starts again, or a bit before.
I don’t want to come across as too much of a dick which is what this will sound like but:
- The Grey one looks like every other Baum which isn’t a good thing (The paint jobs are look shit).
- The Blue one is so mutha fcuking sick and is BY FAR the best look Baum I have ever seen. I would have both painted the same or one inverse for the other (RAW Ti, r32 blue blue branding). Don’t leave this bike near me unattended.
