    I have a nice and nearly complete Optima Baron frameset available for sale. I had planned on
    building up the Baron this winter, but I have too many bikes and too little time.

    The Baron frame and components were purchased from Yellowbike before they went out of business. The
    frame is painted a nice, bright yellow, and it is in like new condition. The following components
    are included:

    Velocity Razor 559 rim, laced to Campy Record hub (lightly used) Velocity Razor 406 rim, radially
    laced to Shimano Ultegra hub (lightly used) Campy 9-speed cassette Vredestein Monte Carlo (rear) and
    S-Lick (front) tires, new PRO needle-bearing headset (installed) Optima fiberglass seat and seat
    brackets Optima carbon fiber seat (used, has some cracking that needs repair) Ofmega crank, single
    chainring, with chainring guards Boom with bottom bracket mounted RANS Flip-it and Bacchetta
    handlebar for "superman" style steering Chain, chaintube, and mounted front idler Deore XT brake
    levers and Rapidfire shifters SRAM 7.0 rear derailleur

    The front hub shows some wear to the blue/grey finish from braking, but the other parts look
    brand new. Some are still in boxes! You can see from the list that the bike is nearly complete.
    You'll need cables and housing, brakes, and some mechanical ability, but you'll wind up with a
    bargain Baron!

    I'm asking $825 plus UPS shipping.

    Thanks!

    Sounds nice, too bad the overseas shipping would probably be close to that.

    Or wait for spring... :-)

    Hi Keith,

    I replied by e-mail but your address keeps bouncing my note. Could you send me an e-mail reply with
    a good address?

    BTW, I *think* I know why you're interested, having read about your stolen Baron in September. I
    bought the frameset and parts on 8/12/03.

    Regards,

    Tony

    I don't know about that. The Dragonflyer I bought from Tony was in BETTER condition than his eBay
    auction posting implied. 😉

    I've often wondered where Tony finds all those high quality bents he offers on eBay.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys!

    Though it wasn't planned that way at the start, the Dragonflyer certainly resides with it's rightful
    owner. :-) Now if I can only find me a quality lowracer with 20" rear and 16" front wheels, mesh
    seat, above-seat steering, and rear suspension. Any ideas? :-)

    Regards,

    Tony
