IV posted part of this story before , around 1967 a friend of mine went to Italy for a visit and also to buy a Masi . When he got to the shop there were no Masi frames his size , but he was told about a FAEMA team frame that was never picked up . My friend asked Mr.. Masi if it bothered him to have other names on his frames , Masi took him to a cabinet and opened a drawer , it was full of decals from trade teams and other frame makers . Masi told my friend " I build frames for a lot of people , and every body knows it" According to my friend there were Peugeot decals in that drawer . One of the neat things about the FAEMA team bike was that it was the first year for Campy side pulls and this bike had them , they were unmarked , no indication that they were campy .
