I believe most of the frames that were > built actually bear the DeCappita name. Interesting. I've seen a couple of bikes that Bailey built, although, now that this discussion is jogging my memory, my recollection is that those frames had no markings/insignias except perhaps for the head tube and tubing decals. The fact that the frames were actually DeCappitas (or that he was not the primary builder) may explain the lack of markings on Bailey's frames. Anyway, one of those frames was a road fixed gear bike - the first "modern" frame of that type that I'd seen. (By modern I mean that it was built in the late '70s).
