So then, when Mario Confente built a Masi in the Velodrome shop in Italy it was a "real Masi", but when he built one in California it was a fake? What about the ones from California which might have forks actually worked by Faliero's own hands?
Could you help me figure out the other Masi's? I have a Masi Team 3V built in Italy. Problem is, it was built under contract by the Mondonico shop! Its pedigree is further complicated by its having been sold by Torelli under Faliero's US licensing agreement. Please, please, is it real or is it fake? Its my favorite "go fast" bike and it will be heartbroken to find out its not real. (I suspect everyone will say "its not a real Masi", but its still a fine machine and a cut above some other Masi badged stuff from either side of the pond.
