Guys & Gals,

To my eye, these are very different stays.

For someone to say that there is one blanket term to apply to all variations of "concave" seat stay terminations kind of misses the point of defining a personal, recognizable style.

I certainly wouldn't mistake the flying scot for a masi, or vise versa.

I'm happy with the term "masi style" to describe the stays like on the masi, but I wouldn't apply it to all concave stays.

I recently spent some time in court with some trademark lawyers, as a witness for a well known sunglass manufacturer with a similar shaped logo to the seat stays in question... I don't think legal resolution is the way to solve this issue either!!
