  1. I`m selling one of my 3 Barons to raise funds to complete the buildup of the other 2 Barons. It is a
    Silver 2002 model with the standard height frame. I`ve put some graphics on it that I think makes it
    look a lot better. As far as components....it has some that are "brand new" with "zero" miles. These
    new parts include....a very nice set of Cannondale triple road cranks(170mm) The cranks are black
    with black chainrings which are 52-42-30........wheels consisting of Velocity Aeroheat rims, Shimano
    hubs, and some very nice Airborne titanium skewers....... SRAM PC-59 chain......Shimano Rapidfire
    shifters(9-speed).......Avid Speed Dial 5 brake levers......rear Ultegra long reach caliper brake.
    Other components which are not new that are in very good to excellent condition are.....front
    Ultegra long reach caliper brake......Shimano XTR rear deraileur......12-27 Dura Ace
    Cassette......Ultegra triple front deraileur.......Ultegra triple bottom bracket.......Stelvio
    tires(front has about 500 miles on it....rear has 100)......Panoram computer (instruction booklet
    included) I have the computer calibrated very accurately......also included is a Mirrycle
    mirror.....The bike has a size large seat(fiberglass) and does not come with
    pedals.....$1750.00+shipping to lower 48 only.

    Maybe it is best not to ask why a person would have three Optima Barons?

    Earl,

    If you want to beat people, you should not tell them how to adjust their disc brakes so that they
    do not drag.

    Will you be wearing the cycling outfit that Barb and Wendy gave you during the Easter ride? I would
    show up just to see that! 😉

  6. Earl, you're just a lumber jack at heart. Just like dear mama.

    BTW, the Lakes fit great and are way more comfy than the sandals. I'm really gonna kick my ass at NB
    this year. "Guess Who I Am" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:20040103173127.14410.00002272@mb-

    Harv,

    Since you are a photographer [1], will you be sure to document Earl riding in his new
    cycling outfit.

  11. Whoa....It's 6 years now, where are we heading? Can somebody join me? I'm looking for some good bikes.

  12. Don has graduated to a NoCom.

    He still moderates the Baron Owners group on Yahoo Groups.

    I still have a Baron, although mine has gone through several frame replacements over the years. Apparently, I'm a bit on the heavy side for their older, non-heat-treated frames. The new ones are a different alloy and are heat treated. Nowadays, my M5 CHR and my NoCom get the bulk of my miles, but the Baron is still a joy to ride.

  13. Easy answers for why someone would have three barons: To color-coordinate with your outfits! With a blue, yellow, and silver, you're pretty much covered to go with any outfit. Or, you could set one up for hills, one for flat, and weight-weenie one for 'special events.' I think Don had one of his down under 20 pounds at one point. The ten-spoke Corima wheels did not inspire confidence, though.
