Dale,

The answer to your question is yes, sort of. If you were thinking of me as being involved, you would be incorrect. I believe I do know who the b uilder is. The esteemed listmenber who I would suspect DID have a hand i n the bikes would be Jim Allen who probably painted these beauties.

Hope that helps.

Brian Baylis So much on my plate right now I'm making a mess on the table! GOOD stuff , though.

There could be a debate about the value (or lack) of Replicas. With trying to ruffle feathers, the recent Gios, for instance, missed

the mark IMO....

But Haro~ Msai has a new replica that is the closest yet and almost

gets it right. See it here:

The dropouts are the only turnoff that I see after a quick look.

Makes me wonder if an esteemed CR list member might have had a hand in

this effort?
