Hi Brad, On the front I have mounted a mudguard, similar to this one, on my Baron: http://www.bbbparts.com/fenders_mudcatcher-bfd03.php It attaches to the...
Brad, I added a front fender to my Baron for a short time. I cut the front of the fender off so that it stopped at the fork. That way I didn't need the...

... The Baron is pretty good on flat ground, but I've found that one of my problems in hills is that I flex the boom. I don't have enough power that I can...
I made a mistake with the last post. When I saw the photo of the NoCom I now know why you are faster on it than the Baron. I would love to have one but my 38.5...
