1981 Baylis Show Bike

Brian's Comments: This came into the shop a little while ago. I haven't seen it in 20 years or so I think. Built in 1981 for a store called "The Grand Garage" in Newport Beach, CA. This is the bike that appeared in Connoisseur Magazine in 1982, along with Gary Klein and Bruce Gordon. I don't know if you've seen the article, entitled "Worlds Best Bikes". We should scan it, it's pretty interesting for the period. Anyway, here it is. Never ridden; except once. By me! It's still all original just as it appeared in the magazine in '82. Brian
