Well, while Whitcomb bikes ceased to be built in the US, Masi bicycles continued to be built here by two or three new sets of builders after the initial cast, again including future top US builders. At some point some will maintain they ceased to be "real" Masis, but I'm not going the be drawn into that debate. Personally, I'm more interested in Whitcomb.
