That is what removable stickers are for. Anything connected to a fad like MASH, does not hold it's value very well at all if you haven't learned anything from your childhood. How much are foil pokemon cards worth?
Jesus, more and more people on this forum are just becoming full of ****. If you don't like the MASH, that's fine, I know I certainly don't care, I didn't buy the MASH over the Vig because I'm a "fanboy", I bought it because I preferred the geometry and colorscheme. I also bought my bike to ride, not to sell later or so that people on the internet would think it was cool (and since you and many others here don't seem to like the Mash, then the Vig would be the "cooler" choice.)
Also, true track geometry? Why don't you take a look at these two charts:
http://www.cinelli-usa.com/images/ci...relligeom.html
http://www.cinelli-usa.com/images/ci..._mashgeom.html
The Mash has a steeper headtube and seatube, and a shorter wheelbase in the small, medium, and large sizes. The Mash just has a longer seatube, creating the forward sloping effect, I don't see how this equates to "fake track geometry".
Also keep in mind that the chart is for the older Mash, not the newer version which has steeper angles, shorter chainstays, and a shorter wheelbase.
More and more this place seems to be about "being cool" by *****ing about others trying to be cool. Just relax.
