>...I wonder if anyone remembers a frame builder > in Falls Church. Small shop, Papillion Cycles... The frame-builder/proprietor is named Bailey. Offhand, I can't remember his last name, although I visit his shop at it's neew location from time to time. The new shop is located on Columbia Pike in Arlington and caters mostly to the folks in the neighborhood who actually use bicycles as transportation. Bailey has not built frames since the shop moved to its new location although he does make repairs. On the other hand, he also sells used bikes and sometimes has an interesting interesting classic lightweight for sale. Often these were Japanese hand-builts, brought back to this country by servicemen. I see fewer of those in his shop these days, probably because mountain bikes became the "cool" bike among servicemen. Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
