2020 Power Tree & Custom Bags for Sir Alan's Baum

July 2020, just when Melbourne was on the cusp of locking down for the first time I completed this Power saddle, bar tape and bags combo for Sir Alan's new raw titanium Baum Orbis. The initial plan was to make some stitch-on bar wrap however the complex form of the bars and brake levers was too much for me to conquer at the time. The old style Baum tree logo adapted nicely to the back 'valley' section of the Power saddle. The bags are a 2 piece saddle bag and a top tube mounting snack bag with an extra thin Velcro loop to fit just under the headset.
