Since the Baron didn't sell last month, I under took some changes I wanted to make and put a little money into fixing it up. Switched to the Optima Open Cockpit bars and tiller, and in the process had to change out all the cabling. So also decided to can the original Magura Julie hydraulic brakes, and put some Avid BB7's on there. Wow what a transformation! The Baron has gone from twitchy (to me) to stable and smooth, gotten much easier to get on/off, and now is much easier to maneuver while off the bike. Only downside of my changes is I have to rethink my rear rack as the rear BB7 and the rack post want to occupy the same space. Next up, Schwalbe Kojaks, and I think I'm adding the full Terracycle idler kit, as the dropped chain is also a pain when wheeling the bike into and out of the office for commuting. Take Care, Nelson.
