The MT-2 was respectable with Columbus butted tubing, Campy dropouts, Campy Record changers, Ofmega Headset and five speed Regina Oro.

As I recall in the April issue. Road & Track for many years did an April Fools road test in the April issue every year. I remember road tests of a motorized pogo stick, Goodyear blimp, San Francisco cable car, Maserati bicycle, Mercedes GT (garbage truck) and an ocean liner among others.

Enjoyed the description of the MT-2 frame. "Columbus or Reynolds tubing..."
They weren't sure? Didn't they write it down somewhere?

On another note, I knew a guy whose Italian grandfather had a small bike building business back in the old country. When my friend was younger, Gramps asked for all his measurements, then sent a custom Italian racing bike to him in Canada. It was logoed 'Ferrari', grandfather's name.
He thought it was 'cool' to have a Ferrari bike.
But was a non-rider.
Mama mia.

As I understand it, Ferrari is not an unusual name in Italy. Of course, the majority of them are overshadowed by the relative success of Enzo...

Hi there.
If any one is still intersted or knows anything about Maserati Bicycles.
Please respond.
I found a Mid 70's Maserati single speed "52-17 gear ratio" Bicycle.
I love this bike to bits, but I can't seem to find any info on it.
Does any one have any knowledge on this subject?
Cheers,
T.

Can't give you any details but I have a customer that renovates old Racing and Vintage sports cars of note. Last time I was there he had a true Racing E-Type stripped down and a couple of Austin Healeys just about finished. That was besides the racing Aston Martins and a couple of Ferrari's. In his office he has a Manx Norton Racing motorbike and a couple of Racing bicycles. One of which is a Maserati. Dates from the late 60's and do not get excited. The bike looks immacualte and looks the part for a 60's bike. But it is not made by Maserati. The batch this one came from was made by Chas Roberts- A well known custom builder in the UK.

Edit-- the MT-8 as posted by Panthers007 looks right on colour and decals to the one I saw but it was only sigle speed.

The Maserati to look for is the MT-2, top of the line bike. Very nice looking too. Here is a pic and specs.

Very nice indeed. I'd love to find a dozen in some forgotten airtight container.

I am currently searching for an origional Simplex replacement (on ebay) because I really liked the way it worked. I have never seen or heard of any other Maserati bicycles since then. Bill
I have a bike which may be a Maserati.We are not sure.It has three dots on the top and bottom of the head tube.Also two slots under the BB shell.Does some one know what we have?

That is true- I had a relative whose maiden name was Ferrari.
