We've had lots of interest in our Baum Coretto GT Edition, which we wrote about in:
Part 1 and
Part 2.
And while I've been too busy for a full review, we have now built her up and figured we'd throw some pics and details out there...
The Build:
- Dura Ace 7900 complete groupset
- 3T provides their Funda Team Fork Dorico LTD seatpost, Ergonova LTD Bar, and ARX Team stem
- Dash form.7 carbon saddle (with triple density foam)
- Handlebra leather bar wrap
Weight = 15 lbs on the DOT.

The Baum boys build bikes with such amazing attention to detail. Every bike is custom, from tube-specs to geometry, and of course
paint!
The result is amazing - light, agile handling yet stable, and just super
smooth. (Paul K's joke) We've also built up the Ristretto, so come check them out in person!
