Hi Matt, welcome to the wonderful world of the Baron. Hope you enjoy the stay. ... I've never felt 'low' on my Baron unless I ride alongside an upright rider....

I ride my Baron in the city and no I do not want to get killed. To improve visibility I did the following: Nite Rider HID front headlight, This mounts to the...
I am currently putting together my X-low frame with Superman style U-bars of a sort. They are Nitto moustache bars modified by George Reynolds for a T-bone...
I'm trying out various versions of U-Bars on my homebuilt highracer, and haven't found a shape yet that I really like. One strong point of tiller steering is...
Hi Dave, The reason the tiller bar from your standard Baron is in your line of sight, is because the Baron X-Low uses a different tiller stem. The handlebar is...
... It's very easy to dismount a Baron (or similar bike) as long as you're still rolling: just put your feet down, and let the forward momentum push you up....
Don, I figured the x-low bars were probably different to compensate for the lower seat, but the bars off the old standard Baron were all that I had. I had the...
Dave, I had a ZOX U-bar on my Baron for a short time last year, and stability was not an issue for me at all. Riding in a straight line was pretty comfy, but I...
Don, and anyone else who might know, Do you have any idea what the minimum amount of tube overlap is when inserting the boom into the main frame so as to...
Dave, I would think that as long as the end of the boom is in the frame tube past the 2nd clamp bolt you should be fine. I like to have a lot of the boom in...
Don, Thanks for the quick reply. The boom barely goes past the rear-most welds at the rear clamp, so it should be OK. Wish there were a bit more though. Dave ...
Dave, You might want to use the same technique that I used on my carbon boom to make sure it is secure. Wrap some masking tape around the portion of the boom...
Hi ! Right, I saw you at the end and that was funny, I think you have a blue "baron" isnt' it ? It was a pleasant time and weather all trip long. And for you ?...
Hi For sure I leave in France so maybe the traffic conditions are not the same but for sure dangerous too... but for sure for me it is a real pleasure to drive...
Mathieu, et al., Thanks for the help! I was able to ride into work this morning for the first time on the Baron. Traffic has been less of a problem; I'm...
Ah....there is nothing better than hearing that a bike you sold is being put to good use! I'm really glad it is working out so well for you. I look forward to...
Yes, I was on a blue Baron.. The weather was very hot on some days, as I recall temps were 30- 36c, however some of the nights were a bit cool The racing after...
I just picked up a 650c carbon fork off eBay that I plan on cutting down to fit a 20"(406) wheel. At the moment I`m machining an aluminum part that will enable...
The chain tube on the power side is making some noise. Rather than fix it, I'm thinking of just removing it. Is there any reason not to? I use a very clean wax...
The chain tube is there to keep you from getting black marks on your leg from contact with the chain. I`ve never used a chain tube on the drive side of any of ...
