I'm not the expert, but Confente was sent by Masi to start Masi USA in Carlsbad, CA, and some of the most notable American frame builders worked there. He was well liked and died suddenly when he was still pretty young, so I guess he's the James Dean of frame builders. And of course, his bikes are considered to be the perfect marriage of beauty and performance.
