I got mine during one of 30% off sales so I got it for around $860. For that price, you can't beat it even without the changes I've made. I've ridden it for about 800 miles so far and the only issue I've ran into is some occasional creaking. Not sure what's causing it but it hasn't bothered me enough yet to look into it.
that's a nice looking bike and 900 bucks who can complain? I remember that frame BTW, the head tube and seat stays are very distinctive. It's been around for a very long time and maybe 7-8 years ago they were selling on Ebay as bare frames.
People here called them " Chinarello's" and huge debates ensued about how good they were etc. Obviously if a major retailer has picked them up and is selling them in quantity then the answer to that question is " pretty good".
My Masi creaks a little too around the seat post, normal for Carbon
AFAIK
