*******************Update*******************
This popped up from a local Bike Mechanic in Vancouver who builds and upgrades his own and does some race events himself. It was his training bike inside.
Its a bit of a mish mash of new and lighter parts on a 2014 Masi Partenza. Aluminum frame - carbon forks.
This bike is generally an entry level bike. But he added a lot of other parts.
New FSA brakes and new carbon stem, new mavic helium rear wheel and Trek race lite front off a Trek Madone, all new cables/housing The owner changed the seat post to carbon Bontrager.
Shifters/derailleurs are upgraded shimano.
He replaced the cassette and chain with a better one.
I paid $500 CDN ($350 USD)
I feel like that's an ok price.
So I'm happy to get out and use this and I'm going to hunt for a mid 90s steal frame bike and go back and forth. I sold my 82 Raleigh as it was just the worst. I also have a 1986 Lotus Mountain bike Pro Series 3000M. That Mountain bike is 10times faster than that 1982 Raleigh
Next sunny day I'm heading out to use it. And Ill hunt for a nice steel 90s example.
Fridays buy 2014 mish mash Masi
