The rear drive side brake pad isn't installed correctly.

need also to see if the seller has the toeclips and straps. Do we think this blue Masi has original parts, or was assembled from spares? The pedals are the correct type, but there should be Campy aluminum toeclips and (at least mine came with) Binda laminated straps. The straps alone can be $60.

I believe the "catalog" saddle on that bike would have been 3TTT and not a Unicanitor, too.

I can't find the listing anymore, though my recollection is that it had the right (i.e. '73) date codes. I personally wouldn't sweat the consumables, especially since any Cali-roadie worth his/her salt would have customized his/her new Masi before being seen riding it anyway.
Oh yes, remove the crank dust caps.
And if you were really Southern Cal, fresh handlebar tape for any race of import.
If I were to locate a bike so modded, I would just keep it as is, as that is how it was done.
Clinchers? There was a guy who trained on them on his Masi, for nothing else as it transformed the bike in race trim. I rode it once, it was a pig with the lower pressure wide tires back then.
