Just gorgeous!!

Apart from the fact that the drop outs are so short that you could use a very limited number of gear ratios. So it's another poseur Fixie, not a true track bike.

I'm probably being unfair about the dropout length, but it's not really a track specific bike adn looks better as a road bike

How's that work?

Nah, much prefer the minimalist look.

With no derailleur to take up chain slack when changing rear cog front chainring you have to be able to move the wheel forward or backwards in the dropout. So you put in the biggest chainring/cog combo like 52/15 you intend to use with the wheel shoved right up against the end of the chainring then, cut chain accordingly, move back and forward accordingly when you're warming up or sprinting vs enduro racing?? Stand to be correct as always.

I have sneaky feeling I'm missing something in why you're asking though?

So we are in agreement. Track bikes are aesthetically superior to road bikes. That Baum is still awful though.

I read chain-stay instead of drop-out.

In the case of gears and brakes, fewer is more.

The sad part of this is, that I understand your post.

Some contrast to previous matte S-works, here is Alberto's shiny S-Works.

Quite adventurous scheme, I love the total raw brushed metal monochrome with super shouty fork.
