So how would you compare the ride of the SC to an older PX-10?

Great post, Charles and always happy to enliven your dull moments...

"2) The most fun is, every Masi I own has probably nearly doubled in value over the last 3-5 years. About how many other bikes can you say that?"

Can't think of many, nope. Bicycle as pork belly futures, pharmaceutical stock and baseball cards. But honest, you should have bought and sold condos in Washington over the last four years instead. You can't ride a condo anymore than an "investment" Masi but you'd make loads more money.

Just back from a fun ride on my Cinelli SC... definately a non entity in the "investment" category. Cost $550 new c. 1973 or $2428 in today's money. I bought her on eBay, fully restored and in perfect order for $1600 two years ago.

Moral: ride bikes, buy real estate or stocks.
