I'm 99% certain the bike had never been ridden, even when not considering that toe strap. There were more than a few bikes at the show that seemed unlikely to have ever been on the road. Not my preference, but I can understand the urge.
What I don't understand is how someone can be so enthusiastic about a hobby that the person would commission a frame from Brian Baylis, but not remember how to route a toe strap (and then not see that it was clearly wrong when the pedal was installed). Even if the strap was installed late at night in a hurry.... I can't understand it.
On the plus side... it was an opportunity to bring another Brian Baylis frame into the world, thereby benefiting Brian and the world, so I have to give the owner credit!
