Ironically, it's guys like you that really know what's right on a Campagnolo equipped bike that I thought might say: " Nice bike. Too bad its got the wrong rings" Someone on the list no long ago commented on bike on ebay and said pretty much the same thing. I'm not really that thin skinned about it, but I'm really pretty proud of these bikes. Maybe I'll just say: "Yeah, I've got the NR rings, but I just like the looks of the SR better."

"Chris... Nice bike... I know it came with the Nuovo Record rings, but I like your Super Record upgrade... I did that on the one I had in '76 too!" heh heh
A pretty much unridden very early California built Masi passed through my hands a couple of years ago. I'm guessing it went on fewer than 30 rides. Had the original 30 year old dirt on it even.
The mind blowing thing was that it even had those _stock_ Hunt-Wilde (www.huntwilde.com) white vinyl bar plugs with the ridiculous crossed checker flags that those bikes were shipped with!
Now I want to see a show of hands... Would any of you use those on your early California built Masi so that it was "correct"???
