Recently I was doing some research on the Team 3V from the 90s and saw some things which I wanted to see if anybody out there can shed some light on. Apparently by the mid-90s, Masi had a frame called the Team 3V which was first made in California and then subcontracted to Modonico and Billato in Italy. Does anybody know if the quality of the Modonico built 3Vs were as good as the Californian or the Milano originals for the Volumetrica? Lineage wise, I am sure the Mondonico or Billato wouldn't technically be considered a 'real Masi'. Since I found that Faliero Masi specifically was against the 'fastback seatstays'. Supposedly the earlier 90s Team 3Vs were very much the same if not exactly the same as the original volumetrica. What about the later Modonico built Team 3Vs? To clarify, it's not the purple one with all the advertisement decals on the top tube. Nothing on top except the signature.

Also, does anybody know about the tubing? I think the Californian with the sponsor decals on the top tube is actually made of Reynolds 753, so it's super easy to dent. What about the later Modonico/Billato made ones without the sponsor decals?

Thanks!
