I've decided to sell one of my rarest bikes. This bike was made by Mario Confente BEFORE he joined Faliero in California to stand up the Masi-Carlsbad operation. I have the papers of authentication (in Italian) and a picture of Mario standing next to the bike before it was painted. It does not have spade cutouts or Confente decals. I've debated many years about adding the Confente decals he used in California, but have deemed it more authentic to leave it as is. The decals are somewhat bland, but the workmanship of the bike is superb. It is 54cm c-c with a 55 toptube. Offered as a frame/fork only to the list for $10,000. Offer only good today as I will no doubt have changed my mind about selling it by tomorrow. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
