the problem there, with "those" masis, is that the
head tubes are machine cut at an angle due to the
lip on the head lugs. the interior is beveled in-
board. if, IF, you use campagnolo/var hand tools
that only plane off at 90 degrees (or so) on a frame
that was bevel cut at the ht interior, you will risk
facing everything down until the lips just plain
disappear.

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,
