Hi all,

a couple of days ago, I bought three cool old bikes from a LBS (one of them the early CA Masi #19; THANKS BRIAN!), and I thought you may want to see a couple of pictures of each, in pretty much as-found condition. I did remove lots of junk from the Eisentraut though; I couldn¹t handle looking at the MTB bars and stem, and the ugly gel saddle, cheezey brakes, etc. I haven¹t yet started the de-tox on the Masi, which has Cobalto levers/hoods, slightly later bars/stem, etc., or the Singer, which is going to need lots of time spent on polishing chrome.... If you¹re interested:

If anyone can help with info. on the Singer, please let me know. I¹d like to know when it was built, and how it may have originally been spec-d out. Thanks!!
