Is a 1994 Masi in rough condition worth saving? I will try to post pictures, maybe tomorrow.
Probably. Depends upon how bad the dent is. Frankly, I would simply replace the top tube as a last resort. It would loose the Masi-value-premium, but the bike would still be just as good. I would liek to see pictures.
As for the Mercian, it is on my winter projects list. It is still hanging, un-assembled, in the shop.
