Yet another person seeking Masi information. I'm fwding this, written by an acquaintance of mine, who isn't a CR subscriber. I've advised him to correct that obvious omission, but in the interim, he's in a rush. Could one or more of the Masi experts possibly contact him directly? His email is attached at the bottom. Thanks,

I am looking at a used Masi, according to the owner, it was bought new in '99. I assumed it was one of the genre that was imported/built by Torelli, but I contacted Torelli and the indicated that they stopped importing them in '97. The serial # on one side is EB1 on the other is M57 and it has a large M in the middle of the BB shell if that means anything to anybody.

Does anybody know what happened to the "Masi" rights in the US after Torelli? The graphics on this bike look more like the older California Masis than the Italian Masis that are still sold today.

Thanks,
