• To put peoples minds at ease I purchased this particular Baines (only one built) whilst at Sheffield uni during the late 70's from track ace Danny Childs. I can vouch for it originally being used as a Steyer as I had period pic's plus a couple of news articles featuring this very machine. I made it more user friendly by reversing the forks, fitting equal size alloy rims plus adding a front brake for road use. I understand that Trevor jarvis later modelled his Tony orme steyer on this early Baines example. Approx' ten years later I sold it to a keen collector by the name of Roy barrat, dunno the bike's history after that?

    Seems like Rusty mudguard his pissed on all our bonfires after all!

    Let's have a look at the pictures and the news articles then.
