Ok, I know it's quite passe and Masi GC's are so 2004, but it's taken me awhile to find one in my price range and near my size.

This one's a bit of a mongrel, a first generation GC frame re-worked at Masi in the mid 70's. But it's in such great shape that "restoring" it to original specs would be folly (but maybe one day?).

I've done a complete mechanical overhaul and detailing, and changed the stem and saddle to suit me. The Nisi rims it came with were shot so I swapped them for the classic 70's combo of Super Champion arkandseals/metaldoors.

Not riding weather for this one in Oregon yet but I'm having fun staring at it.

Of course a big thanks to the listmembers that were as usual, generous with information and parts (you know who you are).
