Holy smokes I just got home from work and this thread blew up! This wasn't to try to pull the wool over someone's else to pass it off but more so something I could ride and not feel bad about if it got stolen, damaged etc... As for the using your own name. I actually had some decals made up with my last name on my carbon ebay road frame build and could actually do that since I have three more sets of decals. I was doing a repaint anyways since I was planning on brazing on some dt shift bosses and cable guides since it originally has stem mounted shifters.
I thought about picking up a Speciale Commuter but then what different is that Taiwan branded Masi to my Schwinnasonic? There's nothing special about newer Masi's in my opinion for what their worth. I'd never try to pass it off as a real deal and specify it's a replica on the frame somewhere. The frame/fork is the only original thing as everything else is Italian...Record low flange wheelset, headset, calipers, Cinelli stem/bars etc... Well everyone is allowed their own opinion and I got what I asked be it positive or negative.
