Hi all,
I've now got my new custom-made asymetric (but not offset) front fork
(I'll post pictures shortly), but I noticed that the bottom half of the
handle-bar tiller is badly cracked.
Does anyone know if Optima sells these by themselves as spare parts?
Also, is there a difference in angle between the Baron, and the Low
Baron? I think that the current stem is a bit too high in my face when
the seat's down, so a lower angle might be nice.
Are there any other stem / handlebar alternatives I should look at?

Dave, Optima`s webstore lists the Baron`s tiller stem at $54.22 US. I purchased one awhile back for my standard Baron. My Baron X-Low uses a VeloKraft carbon...

It is not clear to me if your bike is a regular or an X-low, but if the bars are at all in your way on a regular, they will be 2" higher on an X-low. I was ...
I have a regular Baron, but am considering putting an X-low tiller stem on it to lower the handle-bar height. Is that what will happen? Or is the X-low stem at...

Dave, As far as I can tell, the Baron Low has a stem that is not only lower, but also longer than a standard baron stem. This would make sense because my Baron...
