Just don't look at the pictures.

And for those that do...
I've seen a lot of pictures of Medici on the internet, and most paint jobs not so good..... possibly a lot are re-sprays.
The paint on this one is really good. There is clearcoat still on the chainstays protecting the "Pro Strada" decals... as well as the rest of the frame.

Wierd.

I don't think there was that much more personality conflict than in many other workplaces, just the events here got a public airing. Everyone was trying to do their best, personalities often clash. Take out the Bill Recht contribution and there would have been much less at stake as he financed both Confente And Medici. How he did not think that was a potential disaster waiting to happen is beyond me.

Masi Carlsbad made a great product and was a money losing business.
