Recognizing that there are a few Masi fans on the CR list, I thought that the following FS post might be of interest to those taller folks who don't also subscribe to the internetBOB list. I do not know the seller (or Mr Confrente) but suspect that BB may be able to fill in some details...

I usually don't post for sale stuff on the list, but if anyone is interested I'm selling Two MASI's.

One is a 62cm MASI 3V that has been converted into a Fixed/single with mustache bars. Campy record brakes, 105 crank and IRO flip flop hubs.

The second is a rare Confrente built 62cm MASI from around 1972. I had Brian Baylis do a complete restoration on the frame. He told me that it was even more rare than usual in that A) the serial number did not fall into any of the usual schemes meaning it was probably built for an employee or a friend of Confrente, and B) the frame was built with super record dropouts and chainstays... much higher quality than the NR parts used on production bikes. The group is mostly Campagnolo NR parts, high flange campy hubs with clincher rims, SR brake levers and Nitto Stem and Bars for comfort. This bike rides phenomenally well, the paint is mint, and it's a useable bike. I hate to let her go, but I really need some cash for other projects.. I'd love for a fellow BOB to have her....
