Brian's Comments:

This came into the shop a little while ago. I haven't
seen it in 20 years or so I think. Built in 1981 for a
store called "The Grand Garage" in Newport Beach, CA.

This is the bike that appeared in Connoisseur Magazine
in 1982, along with Gary Klein and Bruce Gordon. I don't
know if you've seen the article, entitled "Worlds Best
Bikes". We should scan it, it's pretty interesting for
the period.

Anyway, here it is. Never ridden; except once. By me!
It's still all original just as it appeared in the
magazine in '82.
