do any of you with masi's have problems with pedal strike? the website lists a 70mm bb drop, which is what steered me away from them in the first place.

The bb drop is 45 on the Cotello (track), 70 on the Coltello Aero (Time trial). The website shows the Aero geometry.

Softer and cushy up top where you're going to be cruising anyway, and then still effective tape over the rest of the bars where you're going to be riding harder. Doesn't seem too weird to me...they make gel pads and various other similar things for handlebars.

Maybe the owner of that bike just doesn't want it to be all soft everywhere, I know I don't like my drops to be all squishy feeling.

you really need an explaination? not what i'd do, but i've seen it before. the tape stops where the grips begin. i've seen people put 4 oury grips on 1 bar, now thats funny. but... to each his own.

Apparently rhetoric is lost here
