To Dale, owner of MC61 01:

It was my understanding that the leading zero in the Carlsbad Masi serial number was adopted after the number onethousand was reached.

On that assumption, Dale's MC61 01 would come right after MC63 1000, which was auctioned on Ebay last year (I think Sheldon was advertising it).

There used to be an article on Masi dating by Jim Cunningham on the CR site which nominated a serial number for the last Masi that was built by Confente; I can no longer find the article but I seem to recall that it was roughly 0350. Perhaps someone can verify that?

I think Brian identified 0370 as an early Eisentraut bike circa 1977, a while ago.

Your #01 could be hard to date because it has neither the usual Carlsbad serial number or the "Mx" number of a Mario "one-off".
