Project Baum: John Prolly Pays Baum A Visit
John from ProllyIsNotProbably has been over in Oz lately. During his time there he was able to get down to Geelong to pay Baum a visit. It takes me back to when I was there… Click this link to read the article. Enjoy!
Project Baum: Three Ristrettos
Just a quick one today… The pic above is one I’ve stolen from the Baum twitter feed. All three of these are steel ‘Ristretto’ frames ready to be finished and painted. Why am I sneaking this pic in? Because the one on the right is MINE!
Brit Racing Abroad & Stolen Bikes
David McLean is from Cambridge. He’s currently lucky (or rather, strong) enough to be riding for Team Meridiana-Kamen and is appearing in some fairly big races alongside some fairly big hitters. You fancy racing alongside the likes of Cunego and Pozzato? He does. You have to be pretty tasty to do that kind of racing. … Read more
Project Baum: Taking Shape
The latest batches of pics have arrived from Baum. My Ristretto is really starting to take shape already. Here’s the driveside chainstay being tacked to the dropout: Notice the holes on that dropout below? Drilled to reduce as much weight as possible whilst also creating a surface for the skewer to grip. This is one … Read more
Project Baum: Tubes & Prep

The musettes are made in sample format (see pic above) and I will be placing an order regardless. The interest shown (there’s a form … Read more
Project Baum – A Prequel If I May…

Over to you Todd… I had been thinking of upgrading my bike to something flashy… Something Italian with GREAT BIG Campagnolo logos on the … Read more
Watch A Baum Come To Life – Project Baum Intro
So, my new bike isn’t going to NAHBS. Bit of a bummer – but there’s a silver lining to this little cloud… I get to show you guys how a Baum develops. You see, now that my Ristretto isn’t going to be ready in time for the NAHBS show Baum have decided they want to … Read more
What Type of Cyclist Are You?
At the London round of the Rollapaluza National Series during the week a conversation got my cogs whirring… Nick Hussey (off of that so-new-it’s-not-even-launched-yet Vulpine company), Damien Breen (off of that most excellent ‘In The Saddle‘ blog) and myself were talking – it was like a mini bloggers convention (although not ‘mini’ in that any … Read more
