I didn't set out to copy baum paint but it ended up looking pretty close, didn't it? I love the baum look, and it ended up working with my overall goal for the bike.
The main goal was to leave the frame just carbon to save weight and showoff the raw material. That leaves the post, fork, and stem to paint. It restricts your options a bit to say the least.
The shop that I bought this from (and who built this up) built it with the seatpost clamp flipped. They report it helps even out the clamping stress to have the opening in the clamp opposite the opening in the seat tube. So I'm trying it out.
I can post a pic of the tool chest, but it's only organized occasionally and mostly because it's such a well designed tool chest. Here's a link to more pics.

More pics here by the bike shop, Velosmith, before I swapped the red painted stem for an all-black stem instead: https://www.facebook.com/velosmithbicyc ... gefilter=3
That looks fantastic, perfectly colour coordinated.

Looks great. I would lose the Bora stickers - as they look too stickery to me but great build. The forwards seatpost clamp is becoming more common, evos are all built that way.

For all you flashy sticker haters, I swapped on Meilensteins to get a sense of the bike with darker wheels.
With the Lightweight wheels and skewers the bike is dead on 14lbs. / 6.35kg

Beautiful work. So, about how much of the weight does the power meter stuff account for?
