In fact, if I decide to sell my '69 Atala I'm going to list it with a semi-spoof of all that Masi city code business. E.g. "Atala Gran Prix - Columbus tubing or something "quasi lo stesso" - built in Jan. 1969 in Milan by Vito after a night out with Volpina during which they started with Cynar and ended with Chianti. All joints fully brazed but includes a rare section of rough plating on the fork crown..." Ciao, Fred Redno - Arlington, Virginia
