Ok, here's a nice little poser (as opposed to poseur) for you.
The 2 Masi's that eRICHIE(trademark thingy here) made are they
real masi's? As much as I respect eRICHIE(trademark thingy here) I don't
think so. Very interesting little project but. . .
then lets talk about my Pogliaghi (I know different marque but what the hell),
built after Sante sold the name to Rossin but before Basso brothers had it. It was made
in the Pog shop in ca. 1983. Is it a Pogliaghi just because it was bought there?
Sante stopped building quite a while before that, maybe Freshci built it, I don't know
but is it a Pog? I think so.
Never the less it's a slippery slope indeed.
for me, I'd say that the Russ Denny Masi is a nice bike, but not a purists Masi,
that would be a Cali Masi.
Does this matter a hill of beans to the ride quality? nope.
Does this matter to anyone other than a bunch of retrogrouchy bike nuts? nope.
Did I just lose my train of thought and where I was going with this? yup
