The Collection x Baum
Experience the poise, performance and unmatched precision of a fully custom Baum Celaris, finished in a unique Collection colourway and fitted by Darren Baum himself, during a 2-night dream cycling getaway.
Australia's Baum Cycles is a watchword for peerless craftsmanship and the absolute mastery of its medium of choice, titanium. A Baum rides with a bewitching ride quality that seduces, by degrees, over every hill, descent and valley-floor hustle, building like the miles to the realisation that this is the bike you always hoped to ride, to find, to own. The Collection is your access pass to not just the bike but a limited-edition finish, an express build time and the personal attention of the man behind the brand, Darren Baum, during a 2-day cycling retreat hosted at the phenomenal Artu Resort in Girona, Spain.
The Collection x Baum is a limited-edition run of ten custom Baum Celaris bikes finished in unique Collection colours, fitted by The Bike Tailor and Darren Baum amidst the rural splendour and luxurious facilities of Girona’s Artu resort.
Hosted over two days and two nights in May 2025 at the Can Terrades Artuclub, The Collection blends pace and place. Here’s what to expect on the first day.

To mark its collaboration with The Collection, Baum reached deep into its archives, right back to the beginning and a legendary paint sheme that started the brand’s wheels rolling. "Back in 1996, the year I launched my cycle-building career, I was captivated by Formula 1 racing," explains Darren. "That era of F1, filled with innovation and fierce competition, remains one of my favourites. As a tribute to this golden age of motorsport, I designed a Baum paint scheme around one of its most iconic moments—Damon Hill's legendary victory with Williams Racing in 1996, securing his World Championship title. This design is more than just a colour scheme; it celebrates precision, performance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. I'm pleased to be able to offer this now legendary Baum finish once more in a special edition, exclusively for The Collection."
