I declare that your comparison would be biased and flawed, because what guy would give his GF a better bike than he rides?

Thus, only I could provide a completely unbiased comparison.

Hear that, Masiguy?

(Note: I say this only because I can't afford to buy the Masi as well as the Mercier, and am pushing for the complimentary Masi I know I won't get, but even at that my chances are diminished if you're willing to actually buy a both bikes and compare them. Heh.)
