The Masi "D7822" on Ebay has something in common with the bike featured in "Breaking Away" (which may also be a 1978): the downtube decal appears to just be the word "MASI", without all the flags and the "Gran Criterium". This is most visible in the second (and darker) picture of the entire bike.
I thought the movie bike had just been modified for some reason, but now I gather it was a standard factory treatment?
