Back in the days when manufacturers knew what light-weight meant. - I'd have bought that if i didn't already have one!

I think these are going to be a future classic. I had my eye on a Cannondale Super Evo Nano frame but when this became available it was a no brainer.

i feel like i'm being petty here, but just one comment - i'd usually put the front QR lever parallel with the fork or pointing slightly behind.

I'd only put the wheels on for the sake of picture, just fitted new tyres.

I put the front wheel on with the skewer lever on the drive side with the lever pointing down, slightly off line with the forks, to annoy people like you.

My bar tape is red and my saddle is white. How does that make you feel?

Just a couple of short spins so far but it's a stunning ride.

It's genuinely beautiful. Gis a full side on shot, you're teasing everyone with the 3/4 shot. It's like side boob.

Ah sold it years ago unfortunately.

I used work with a middle aged woman, who used to commute about 4 miles to work on a Raleigh Chopper. She was the complete antithesis of the target market for the bike. She loved it.

^^^ Beautiful - wonder what the Tyres are

brownian · 12-12-2018 10:42AM

That's a fine bike. But how is it being held up?

Specialised turbo cottons maybe?

Two person team, balance - dive backwards, snap, dive forwards and catch it.

I reckon the stand was photoshopped out

magicbastarder · 12-12-2018 05:13PM

Y'know those people who have mastered the art of balancing stones on beaches? I wonder if they've been hired by bike manufacturers for product shots.

Very nice bikes on the Baum website -

https://www.baumcycles.com

and some expensive options on the below price list. AU$100 for a stainless steel “King” Cage bottle cage!

Maybe not an image of beauty (at least I wouldn't normally post something like this) but this is the latest addition to the stable.

I'm not really a fan of aero bikes, looks-wise.

I'm with you there but That's an expensive bike to buy if you don't fancy the looks!

Is it the S5 then that hugs the back wheel more & (imo) looks chunkier as a result? Also a full on side profile doesn't flatter the seatpost.

But yeah, I think what makes that look so good (apart from wheels and colour scheme, which I like) is that it doesn't actually look "that" aero.

Is that the new 2019 S3? - Wheredja pick it up?

Oh and is it a 54 or 56? When you get up to 58+ in cervelos they start to look awfully gangly in the head tube. 54 is the aesthetic sweet spot

I'd like to see what it's like with the lighter coloured tan wall tyres, like the ones on the felt above it. Might look better but thats just my taste. A lovely bike all the same.
