Awesome score, they are beautiful! One of my winter projects will be the mid 80,s GC frame below. I had purchased thinking it was 60 cm ctc, only to learn Masi measures ctt. 59 is my sweet spot so I will go with a longer stem. Enjoy those bikes, looking forward to more pics.

Masi is marvelous.

I like the bench castings too.

Sadly (for me at least) the blue Masi has returned to it's original owner. He contacted me in a panic after remembering he had once promised it to his son. Since I would not be able to enjoy it if there was a cloud over it's ownership, and I am not mean, I sold it back to him so he could keep his word to his son. I still have the white one at least.. It just was not meant to be this time, but I am sure it was the right thing to do.

That is kind of sad but, a promise is a promise. Good on you.

edit: I'll only add that if he forgot he promised that bike to his son,
his memory is worse than mine.

And mine stinks.

Guess I just don't have enough cash in my pocket to lure a Masi to a new home! Have not come across a "Deal" on one, that is for sure!
