My LBS is working on getting me a Baron, but I can also get a Burley Hepcat. I am thinking the Baron will be the way to go. I have biomechanical problems...
... Well Jorin, what do you expect to hear from the Baron-owners yahoo group? ;-) The Baron is a fast yet manoeuvrable recumbent. When you put the seat in it's...

Hi, ... As a 100% office-blob (front-streamline included ;-) I recently bought a Baron for commuting (23km one way). At this moment I manage a 25km/h average...
Keep looking in the For Sale listings at bentrideronline.com and on ebay. A Baron shows up sporadically, but especially in the off-season. I found mine in...
I've no experience with Biopace rings but I've been using Q rings for three months now and can compare them to conventional circular rings. The Q's provide me...
While we are talking about buying Barons, whatever happened to the 2006 models in the USA? I've been toying with replacing my Baron with one of the new...
Moose & others, See: http://www.wahpv.org/ There is a near new Baron for sale in Western Australia which might suit you. I believe it has had very little use....

I would like to put an upright seat on my Baron. Once that's done, I'll be able to put on a bodysock. Anyone ever do that? Anyone have any ideas on an easy...
Hi All, I have decided to put my Baron X-Low up for sale. I didn`t think I would ever sell it, but now that I`m riding a NoCom the chance of me putting any...
Don, Now, this is a shocking development. I guess this leads to a NoCom group...what are the rest of us Baron drivers going to do?? Very tasty looking...
Hi Don, My X-Low is about 2 inches lower than a stock Baron, and has a 4 inch longer wheelbase. The drive idler is also in a different location. Anyway, I`ll...
... Dries Baron told me the downtube (from the headset to the where the seat is attached to the frame) is a little bit longer than on the normal Baron, that's...
Planning to order a Baron Road Racer with carbon boom, seat - my Orca is a slug uphill (and so am I). Need the triple rings for hill climbing and get numb...
The Baron is a relativey light recumbent, and apart from a carbon boom and seat, I think your only recourse is expensive componentry and wheels. Disc brakes...
A few options - Velokraft front fork takes about a pound off the bike. New wheels, ditching the disk brakes could take off another 1-2 pounds, depending on the...
I got my Baron down to 26# including pedals and computer which isn't too bad. Here's what I changed: FSA carbon triple crankset with FSA bb Front Velocity...
Thanks Tom What are the relative benefits of disk over caliper here? Ian at Futurecycles suggested that they were materially safer albeit heavier for fast...
Thanks Is the VK front fork something that Optima will fit at factory? I'd heard that the carbon boom they fit is a VK component. If not, is it a fairly...
Tx for this I'm not conversant with the use of (Airxxwolf's) ZoteFoam seat pad in addition to a Velokraft carbon fiber seat. What is its function? Excuse my...
My Baron came with the polyester hard shell seat which weighs a lot. The VK seat was around 2# less. The ZoteFoam was made by Don Smith (Airxxwolf) and weighs...
I never got around to buying one and I've decided to stop swapping parts out for awhile. The bike is reliable and fun to ride the way it is, so I haven't...
Jeremy, A carbon boom and seat seem a good idea, and may be an option on a new baron, as may carbon fibre cranks. Having fairly recently bought a baron, I...
Hi Baroners Anyone going to Allegre in France this weekend? I am going to be there and hope to meet some of you from this forum. It is super well organised. ...
