Clearly you have too much time on your hands if you can ride your bike and test 5 shades of bar tape!

I haven't been able to work due to visa restrictions so yes, I've had far too much time on my hands!

That sucks. Hope you can work something out.

No doubt expectations around cooking, cleaning and washing have risen significantly too, so I'd imagine riding your bike is probably going to end soon I'm expecting daily updates on the blog - DC Rainmaker manages more air miles than me, plus job and daily website updates, but then his wife helps and he has no kids.

i'd like to see how it looks with the mavic SLRs de logo'd and tan sidewall tyres, like veloflex or something with a pale tan look

This bike was an awesome ride, but due to a couple of issues with the build of the frame that I was waiting to resolve with Baum it has now gone back to them and I have been refunded.

A shame, and I'll explain all another time. For now it's time to go new frame shopping!

Mods: I'm happy for this thread to be locked - it's only going to be seen as a Baum-bashing opportunity otherwise, and that's unnecessary. Thanks.

Refunded, eh?!
