when i recently visited cicli t?mm?ss?nn? he showed me pictures of bikes, as well as frame building parts used for bikes, built for gimondi when he worked at masi. it wasn't a one man/one frame frame building deal. but i was convinced that the the pics of gimondi aboard magni, chiorda, and bianchi bikes were, in fact, masi made. they had all the 'appointments' of masi frames during the era in which giuseppe p?l?, the mentor of t?mm?ss?nn?, was a builder at masi in the sixties era. sorry for the m?ss?ng vowels. e-RICHIE
