Hello All,

Back around 1990 or so I had a early Cal. Masi repainted by Brian Bayliss. As expected, Brian did a stellar job. I took the Masi frame and fork over to Wheelsmith in Palo Alto to have head tube lugs faced and the NR headset installed. I returned a week later to pick up the Masi frame, paid for the work and as was leaving, admiring the frame, I noticed something terribly wrong with the headtube lugs. The unique columns that were on the ends of the headtube lugs were almost gone!! Virtually machined off!! My heart sank. What to do?? Ric offered me a refund (REFUND!! REFUND!!). The Masi is still here and Wheelsmith is long gone.

Regards,
Dave Martinez
