Just me piping up with my meekly voiced ignorance . . .

But ,

NOT a fair comparison !

Brian Baylis builds bicycle frames , single handedly .

Faliero Masi gave that up , and moved into more of a supervisory role , long , long , before he ever considered "retiring" .

So , if Brian Baylis came out of "retirement" , he would build a bicycle frame .

But if Faliero Masi came out of "retirement" , he would supervise someone building a bicycle frame .

Just my two centimes .

Cheers ,
Ciao ,
