Nice collection. The Italian Masi is curious. Nice re-paint but I suspect some details aren't right. I may be wrong and would love to be corrected. Masi generally didn't apply tubing decals - if Masi built it that was good enough. The HT decal should say Milano - that one looks like a Carlsbad decal for which thy used to cut out the "Milano" for some years. Faliero's signature should go on the left, though there was some argument that putting on the right meant it wasn't covered by the brake cable. Finally, AFAIK red was never offered in the catalogs, at least not in the US. (Granted, mine is red but I wasn't looking to do a restoration.)

Nevertheless, it is a beeyoutiful bike! All of them are.

And I admit I'm being pretentious by posting this at all.
