I had a beautiful blue 2004 Baron that I put thousands of miles on and then sold it to a friend who also put thousands of miles on it before selling it. For all I know, it’s still on the road somewhere.

It wasn’t the lightest, lowest, or most aero low racer that I owned but it was like the energizer bunny. Get it moving and it really rolled. A well thought out machine.

I ran my Baron with a dropped chain using a sliding chain tube on the fork. Worked fine.
