Tom,
That bike was built in 1974, probably mid year or so.
I saw Masi Carlsbad frame number 119 over this weekend in Washington. I'll report on that event tomorrow.

I checked the CR site, and at least based on the catalogue posting there, I know the number I am trying to track down is before 1977.
