Hi, I am looking for a way to attach a M5 sandwich fairing to my optima baron xlow. Inside the M5 fairing there is a vertical aluminium tube in the nose cone....
Last night I dropped the chain to test it, and the power side chain rubs a lot on the fork when I'm on the smaller chainring. On the big chainring, no rub. ......
I prefer my seat fully raised (for my older! neck.) I also want aero speed where I can get it. A tailbox increases average speed about 2 kph for older...

... Thanks for your reply, but I think I am going to try to adapt the mueller windwrap fairing mounts (http://www.mueller-hp.com/), as it looks like it is...
I think there is more flex in the Fujin SL II frame (The challenge jester, challenge racing bike, don't use the same type of frame for this reason, I believe)....
Futurecycles.org lists it at $2200.00 American, even with today's horrible exchange rates. This price is for the new, heat treated aluminum framed bike, with ...
1416 pounds = 2200USD? Not. Also, I think you're an advert-troll based on the fact that all the carbon options listed at that site add significantly to the...
I don't know what you mean by an "advert-troll," but I'm pretty sure I'm not one. All you need is to look at my previous posts to see that I am legitimate. ...
Apologies for the ad hominem. I have that bike, but as a clyde, I did not go for the ultra light comps. I put Shimano 105 on it, except for the rear caliper...
I am the new owner of Marion's Baron. He has pimped it up with a carbon boom, new tiller and racing tires. I may put on some more forgiving tires for my...
Guys, I'm agonizing over the choice between a Baron or the Cheetah (Optima's full suspension low racer). Maybe you guys can help me with the choice. Do any of...
I would say it depends on the quality of your riding surfaces... I would also consider what the main use of the bike will be. If your main use is commuting,...
I'm not sure about the Baron X-Low, but the regular Baron frame has some passive suspension built into it. The frame slightly flexes over bumps and helps...

I run both. A set of 135mm mountain 559mm bike wheels as training wheels and a set of rev-x 130mm 650c (571mm) carbon wheels for special events. You can put...
