Bianchi Fausto Coppi track bike "Pokkerisimo" Hetchins vibrant track with Experto Crede lugset Early 70's Colnago super track bike (under way, but at a pace that even looks like reverse to a snail!) Mario Confente track bike (will be a copy of the bike under discussion as we speak) I have one, and only one complete set of Bocama lugs engraved by Apollo Engraving who did Marios' lugs and Fischer BB shells along with all of the Confente pantographed parts. John Grant of Apollo Engraving was also the person who painted the 50 Confente bikes built in Monterey, CA.

Brian:

I understand only part of the concept here. In building these 'replica's' whose decals & headbadge are affixed to the bike? Are these Bayliss badged bikes done in the style of the original, or are they fully replicated with original (or copied) decals and headbadges with some indication that they were created by you?
