What do you all think of the Masi Vincere?
Hi everyone! I am new at road biking and bought myself a Masi Vincere last April. I ended up not riding at all last season, but am starting to train again. I don't know a lot about bikes, but I am concerned that I may have been taken advantage of when buying my bike. I went in thinking I would buy at one price range and ended up doubling my expenses. No one I talk to seems to know the Masi brand, and I spent $1400 on my bike...which worries me. Do any of you know about the Masi Vincere, and could you give me an honest opinion?

Enjoy what you have. Get out there and ride the thing and don't worry what everyone else thinks. If you enjoy it and it fits you it's a great bike.

I remember seeing a review of a Masi bike in one of the rags (may have been Bicycling, not sure what month). Not sure if it was the Vincere, but gave a little history on the company. Do a search on Bicycling.com to see if you can find anything. That being said, if you like the bike, just enjoy it, taken or not.
