Subject: [CR]masi track serial number question

hello all, as some of you may remember, i joined the list with questions about a 'masi' track bike, which a number of you helped me determine was, in fact, a re-badged torelli.

well, i've found another one, which looks genuine, but since i'm not a masi expert i'm looking for a little validation.

the serial number (according to the seller, i've not seen the bike in person) is m53 (the 3 could be an 8 according to the seller) 06 17 86

if anyone could tell me if the serial number looks correct (is it an '86?) or any other details they can determine based on the serial number, i'd be most grateful.
