To say the least.
But, can somebody c...Funny frame. To say the least.<br />But, can somebody clarify this:<br />- I heard that Alberto sold the name to Kirkbride and other tugs here in SoCal? Not Faliero. And that Faliero got really pissed with all that. And That Alberto didn't even know what they are doing to him, he thought he is selling "rights to sell", not his name, for God sake.<br />So, please someone say something about that.<br />I see those China made frames almost everyday here in San Diego North County. To be honest, they are nothing worse (comparing to other present "brands") than what was Masi in '70. <br />Someone can call that brand "art" (or for matter of fact also Cinelli and Colnago) but you have to know better than that. You have to know if you repaired hundreds of those (what I did) and found under the paint what reality is. Without CCCP those names would be completely something different. Right? If you know how and how many CCCP bought of them?<br />Sorry to burst you bubble, there is much better framebuilders in England of that time, or right now in USA than what is steel frame of '70.<br />Remember, not a SINGLE Italian framebuilder passed Reynolds 753 test. many tried, and failed.<br />But, I am still in love with Italia, just "stay close" to Prosciutto, Gorgonzola and Primitivo, ah, forgot Panini Calabresi, si, si, ...

Interestingly, our friend Serafino ...Gorgeous bike! Interestingly, our friend Serafino Tomi in Viterbo claims to have designed a logo very similar to the logo used on the Masi bikes. He said Masi was not shy about incorporating interesting details he saw on bikes built by others and somehow convincing folks HE was the inventor! The saddest thing is to see the great name on Asian-made bikes that have NOTHING in common with the originals, or even the authorized copies made in Southern California years ago.Larry and Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346445393389942837noreply@blogger.com
