Just wanted to let every one know an Italian Masi is currently on E-bay . With 18 hours to go, the price is $810. You'll have to do a Masi search as I forgot to get the item # for you. I got an email from the owner and he claims some of the Italian Super models at the end of production in 69-70 came with an M cutout in the BB and without the medal head badge. Anyway it looks like a real nice bike. I already have an Italian Masi or I would consider bidding, as it is in my size range. Good luck, Sterling
