Or What's in a name or whatever you want to call it.
I don't lament the fact that the Masi in question is
"modern", I'm not so retro-grouchy as to disdain
such things as ergopower, speedplay, carbon fibre etc.
What saddens me about this bike (and saddens is the correct
term) is that Masi, once a bike I dreamed of owning, is branded
on a nondescript, run of the mill crappy frame.
Colnago, De Rosa, Gios and and many other old marques made
the transition from lugged steel frames to swoopy carbon fibre
modern aluminium without the loss of quality nor the perception
of having "fallen".
Thats my .02 worth
