You're right, of course, but the MASI name has been bought and sold several times, and it was once owned by Schwinn! How weird is that! Now it's owned by Haro (which started as a BMX only company, back in the day).
There are MASI websites that take you through all the changes over the years, and possibly the most strange fact is that MASI's son is now making bikes in the original build location in Italy, but even he can't use the MASI name on the frames that he builds (at least for sale in the U.S.), since his father sold the family name!
