Maybe someone can answer this Masi question. I was wondering what the story is behind the Masi branded bars from the 70s, that I have seen on a few vintage 70s Masi GCs. Yes, I know they are highly sought after, but I was wondering what bikes they were supposed to be original equipment for? Both Italian and Carlsbad Masis? What years would be period correct for them. I think they were usually 3T bars, weren't they? Also, were they readily available back in the mid to late 70s or were they something that just came on special order bikes, like I am guessing some of the Masi panto stuff would be?

Thanks,
