"Hey all, i just found a Masi twin plate crown bike with downtube decals that are labeled Faleiro Masi in a quite nice font.
Whats the story with this, a repaint or does anyone know of such bikes being produced. Seems early 70's but I havent done a bunch fo leg work yet,
I did search the archives and havent found much about this."
There were indeed some frames that had unique blue and yellow "Faliero Masi" decals. Apparently they were made for "special" customers only. Listmember Jeff Pyzyk has(d) one. I have some original decals that I picked up from the son of a Masi contract-builder who built a number, if not perhaps all, of these frames. If you have one of these frames and would like to purchase a set of these decals for an eventual restoration, let me know.
