... Should be, but... I had the misfortune to lay Cosimo the Stealth Baron on his side twice in one race meeting a couple of weeks ago. On both occasions the...
... Atleast 5+ mph faster than my BikeE I had before the Baron. With my coroplast TF it is probably 1-2 mph faster than the Strada I ride now. Craig...
I saw 1-1.5 mph increase with my realitively crude coroplast TF with average speeds around 20mph. I would expect a bigger improvement from a properly fitting...
I'm not sure I've gained any speed, but I sure haven't lost any - and this is said after gaining both age and weight, and loosing conditioning. The Baron is...
I have a question regarding disc brakes. I have magura Julies and I'm having some trouble adjusting the rear one. To begin with I had some brake rub both when...

Hi Dana, Don was talking about me. I have an ultegra bb with 18.5 mm spindle length. I was able to grind off the part where the derailleur contacted the...
I'm thinking of it. I guess I'll have to raise the seat to see over the front fairing. The hard part would be the sock itself. Does anyone know where I can get...
Hi Than, We haven`t met, but we have raced together previously....it was at KilKare Raceway in Ohio, October 2001. You were on a square tube Wishbone, and I...
I haven`t seen one on a Baron yet, but I have a Optima tailfairing on my Baron and will be adding a nosecone. My plan is to stretch a bodysock over the the...
John, I`m going to attempt to build a carbon nosecone....it doesn`t have to be absolutely perfect since I`m going to cover it with the sock anyway. Also, M5 is...
I haven`t heard anyone mention it, but Optima is selling carbon booms in their online store. I think the booms are made by VeloKraft. I have 2 carbon VeloKraft...
Don - thanks for the heads up! i just sent an email to Kamil to see if it is the same boom. To be honest, I can't imagine it is....we'll see. :) Dana Don...

... as ... Sergio, The Baron is the first bent I have ever owned. The "DF" I previously owned was a Trek 5200,OCLV. Since switching to the Baron, I have picked...

Hello Jeff, I give Jeff a big applause for being a first time recumbent rider on a Baron and then riding on the Mighty 400. Jeff you are a fun and merry soul....
Hi Than, Actually, the Rotator I raced at Xenia was a Pursuit that was originally owned by Bryan Ball....it was bentrideronline`s very first test bike. Anyway,...
