Roland,

You have incredible timing. I just decided this morning that I am going to sell my Baron. I am going to post it on Craigslist.

I bought it used a year and a half ago because I was having shoulder and neck problems with my traditional diamond frame bike. Several months after purchasing it I saw a physical therapist for knee problems and she had me bring both bikes in for a fitting. Turns out my diamond frame bike wasn’t fitted to me very well. After adjusting the saddle height and getting a shorter stem I am now comfortable on my diamond frame bike and use it for commuting to work for about 120 miles a week plus another 60 to 100 doing group rides. I tried using the Baron for commuting but I didn’t really feel comfortable in heavy traffic when sitting so low. I put a little over 1000 miles on it mostly last summer and really was just getting my recumbent legs when I stopped riding all together because of the above mentioned knee problems. Since then it has mostly just been in the garage so I think it is time to find it a new home.

Optima Baron with black frame, Magura Julie hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano Tiagra 21 speed drive train, Cateye Strada bike computer, Century double hydration pack with (2)100oz Camelbak bladders, flag mount and (3) flags for making myself visible, easily removable rear fender, and another pack for more storage (tubes, etc). I also have a new chain that goes with it. I have Speedplay pedals on it but I am keeping the pedals, I can put basic pedals or spd pedals on if you want. I made a mount to put a rack on back that I can either leave on if you want it or take it off if you don’t. I used it with panniers to commute to work a few times.

I’d like to get $1,000 for everything.

There are a couple of pictures here

I am keeping the lighting setup and the Speedplay pedals.
