All Masi types,
I think it would be appropriate to say that Russ Denny and Ted Kirkbride made these bikes in a sort of team effort.
I know that Ted spent many days in Russ's shop setting up the jigs and fixtures and filing lugs and dropouts and such.
Ted also provided the original jigs used in San Marcos (by Joe and others) to be used in the assemble of the new frames.
I painted the frames in my new shop in Ranchita....
