I've had a couple Competitions (earlier than 70) that the frames were very much like Internationals, chrome Nervex, chrome stays, slightly different crowns. Completely different components (Zeus crank!)

The original Pro, it may have been just1 year, was all white, sloping crown, wraparound not Brampton stays, no chrome, Weinnman centerpulls.

The Grand Sports were white and blue bands, chrome stays.

Don't know a damn thing about a Masi.
