I will start by saying that I don't have a Baron yet, but I plan to get one by
next spring.
I have gone just over 82kph and somewhat routinely attain 73kph or more on my
upright racing bike. I would expect to go faster on a Baron. Is there something
that makes a Baron inherently scarey at high speed, or are some of us just more
fear-free than others?
Ok, I need opinions. I have an Aero 24 and now want to add a lowracer to my stable. I want to be able to put panniers on my lowracer and tour. I need a...
What's a Baron "Lite"? chain rubbing, at least for me, was only an issue when I dropped the chain, but was solved when I put two 3" floating chaintubes on the...
I have the Raptor which as far as I can tell is a carbon Baron. I've dropped the chain and changed the bars pictured to a swivel stem with the M5 vee bar....
Can anyone comment on the seat pad on the Baron? I have read on a couple of threads that it is thin and can lead to some discomfort. Thanks! Lisa To:...

I'm a Baron fan, with little other experience. It's important to get a seat that fits! A proper seat fit stands the head up without other support. The foam...

... Seems about right! One of my normal rides takes me down about an 8% grade. I routinely hit 52mph (~84kph) & I'm sure that I've gone faster than that. ...
And I hear that the Baron is so stable it can handle those speeds. Yes the Fujin maybe light, but the extra weight with the Baron I believe makes it a great...

Obviously you haven't fallen at those speeds. I slid 5 meters on my butt on asphalt after falling at 55kph. The result you can see on my posted pics. On a...
... No I have not crashed at those speeds, but I have at the speed you described (55kph). In racing there are falls. Meeting the pavement at half that is no...

My 90+plus runs are on 5 to 6% grade but over 2km and with total vehicle weight of ~120kg. I've had a near new front tyre explode minutes after a long 80kph...
Bryan, you're right of course. I am now utterly terrified of speed and shall limit myself to walking speed or slower at all times. I have a few cars, including...
