Also, I'm confused about what's going on in the shifter department; no downtube levers, no STI, so it must be that stuff piled on top of the brake levers but the pic is too small to see clearly -- what is that?
It does have STI's you can see the cables come out from the side of the shifters. But after looking at the bike again, I don't believe it is the Speciale Randonneur but Masi's Speciale CX which is cyclocross bike. Cantilever brakes, top tube cable mounting, that clearly is their cross bike.
Still a great bike but I suspect shorter stays than the Randonneur and a slightly higher bottom bracket. It would make a great commuter bike.
Let us know if you buy it.
