new Masi at Interbike
Saw this yesterday at Interbike.
Thought you all might like a look.
The Masi brand has been slipping a lately. This bike does a lot to bring back respectability. My hat's off to the product manager.

But yeah, sweet paint job on that Bareknuckle.

Sucks.
Those cable guides, dummy lever and ****ty wheels make it a bike that only a roadie wanting winter training will buy and even in that case the roadie will probably go after a more available brand over a masi.
There marketing direct straight sucks. should have come out with something race worthy.

Masi is owned by Haro if that tells you anything. Another $500 piece of dog****.

Hey I like it, but I am a commuter/roadie fixed gear guy, not from the track.
Too bad they didn't finish it and actually include the rear brake (and use the brazeon cable guides it has)
I'm all for more off the shelf road ready fixed gears to have more choices.

edit: too harsh, but I can't think of a nice way to say it. stick around for awhile, you'll understand.

Safety when pushing speed on decents is becoming more important to me than image/simplicity/weight.
But your right for commuting it useless, its purpose is to avoid/minimize getting dropped on decents with the roadies.
