OK Mark, I'll arm wrestle you for it. . . or if you like we'll have a track stand contest. Be warned I've done it for 18 minutes, though I still lost to someone who went 35 minutes when he got bored. It looks like a 56cm to me, but I've been wrong more than once. I don't know where it was made but IU has been looking for it for years and believe me they could outbid all of us combined. They do have a Masi and a few other bikes displayed in the student union including posters and all the autographed posters you'd want. The filming of breaking away is still an important part of Bloomington.

(OT section starts here) If you like internet radio and serious variety check out http://www.wfhb.org/ the radio station I "retired" from the bike industry (the first time) to join as Alternative Music Director. If you're a bluegrass fan my good bud Mark Richardson has a show on Sundays. What does this have to do with cycling. . . most of the people who work there ride to work . . ? Sorry Bloomington is a wonderful place that has given the cycling community an amazing amount in the Academy Award winning film "Breaking Away." enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives PS: Go to Nick's if you ever make it to town. -- Huge Spring Cleaning Bike Parts Sale http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~mkirklan/salepage/sale.html
