Hello , my name is Erik , I am from the Netherlands , own a Baron , but buying a raptor , only concern is the strength of the fram , anybody with advise ?...
Well - I've got one but how will I know the strength unless I break it? I did have the steering stem break off at the handlebar clamp - it appeared to be poor...
... Thx for your reply , the thing is I weigh 105 kgs . I am commuting 60 kms a day for the last 5 months now on a Baron. Cannot seem to lose any weight... ...
I've wondered about the benefit of the carbon frame. It's not much lighter than the all-aluminum frame, and they kept the weakest part of the Baron design: the...
The current X-Low is supposed to be heat-treated, but at the same time the aluminium tube is thinner, so it feels flexy when I ride it. ... know if I can ... ...
Hey how many are going to the HH 100. This will be my 3rd year & 2nd on the Baron. I've always stayed at the Y & probably will this time to. I've always...
Joe, It did 2 years ago. I think that temperature reached 107°F They had some people hooked up to IVs that got too dehydrated. Last year was just hot. Got up...
I'll be doing my best to get off the front of the line this year again, and I'll be on the Tica. Come on up and paceline with me! I'll be going for a sub...
Greg, I'm not sure that I understand your pace. Can't be doing 100 miles in 4 1/2 minutes. Do you mean 4 1/2 minute miles or 4 1/2 hours for the 100 miles...
4 hours 30 minutes is what I meant. It does help to be in a paceline for sure - any energy saved is energy saved. The last time I had a real paceline for a...
That makes sense. I'd try to help you with a paceline, but you're too fast for me. I've yet to break under 6 hours for a century on my Baron so the starting...
Pretty sweet Robert! When i first saw you sneaking up on me, I kept thinking, "who does this guy think he is, horning in on my paceline?" :) You're quite...
Tennbent, I bought the orange Baron and My brother Mike bought the White Baron from Bentupcycles. I have the same triple as you. Bentupcycles replaced what...
Greg, I am using Terracycle's power side & return Idlers on my Baron. I originally purchased the power side idler by itself because the return idler kit was...
I fitted a Terracycle idler and dropped the chain (removed the return side idlers.) As mentioned, the original chain keeper and tube attachment is removed. I...
Hi Greg, Nice to see a message from you. Mike and I have exchanged a few emails back and forth. As you are probably aware, he bought my Trice XXL earlier...
Hi All, I've been daydreaming about a Baron with Campy Record groupo. What I'm specifically wondering is if anyone has used Ergo-power brake levers/shifters on...
Hi Baroneers, Since one Baron is hardly enough, I decided to build me a second one. It's an old frame, non-reinforced and weighing 2.6 kilos. This one is...
Thanks everyone. I finally got it. No noise now from the Terracyle power side idler and everything is good. I ended up with the following config. Terracycle...
... Hi Bryan, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I got the Baron from someone who didn't use it and had it lying around. It was already sandblasted. I've only...
Ok, I need opinions. I have an Aero 24 and now want to add a lowracer to my stable. I want to be able to put panniers on my lowracer and tour. I need a...
What's a Baron "Lite"? chain rubbing, at least for me, was only an issue when I dropped the chain, but was solved when I put two 3" floating chaintubes on the...
I have the Raptor which as far as I can tell is a carbon Baron. I've dropped the chain and changed the bars pictured to a swivel stem with the M5 vee bar....
Can anyone comment on the seat pad on the Baron? I have read on a couple of threads that it is thin and can lead to some discomfort. Thanks! Lisa To:...
