great to see Brian memorialized! He did some great work. There was a Hetchins displayed at the 2018 Classic Rendezvous event that he painted. It is classic Brian in regards to the color selection. Wild stuff!

could well be a Jackson built Hetchins, but if so, I do not think Brian could resist taking a file to it.
Closest he got to building a Confente replica was repairing the front end of one.

Looks like Curtis Odom on the Peug? Riding on Normandy (?) hubs? Blasphemy 
Nope, this PX-10 has CO hubs. Low flange with stainless steel centers.

Brian did not build that Hetchins. He ordered it new and without paint. He then did some filing work and painted it. He detested the angle at which the seat stays attached to the dropout tab. He very much wanted to remove the dropouts and redo them but did not. Brian was a great lover of bicycles and it would surprise many people how many bikes he had built for him by other builders.

The Brian Baylis Birthday Ride ride is going strong. We are now 26 months straight. The June ride had 14 riders, July will be even better.

I had to do a double-take when I noted the little detail attached to the front QR lever on the blue Miyata above. Seen at Cino 2014:

So it turns out that I will be in San Diego visiting with my daughter in July , form the 8th through the 12th. We are camping at Sweetwater Reservoir in our motorhome and my bike will be the only alternate form of transportation . How far is it to the meeting place for this ride? I would love to attend but not sure about uprooting camp to get there with my rather large motorhome. Any help would be appreciated, Joe

Kabuki12, you will be about 9-10 miles from meeting the ride about a 1/3 of the way thru. Look up the finding the Sweetwater Bikeway where it connects to the Bayshore Bikeway. We have had other riders meet us in that area. Not my part of town so I do not know it that well.

Any Baylis frames on these rides? If so, can we get some photos?

Great ride this month. 15 riders include some new ones that came to town just for the ride. The drag race up the Coronado Strand was vicious. Richard Bryne started it off and it was finished by his little brother Stephen that finished it with me hanging on for dear life.
