Here it is once again. My MASI hits the ebay block:
Scott Smith
LA, baby!
> A friend has a raleigh that has been painted, so we are not certain what
it is. I figured y'all could figure it out in a second. Here are my
observations on it.
>
> 1) Not the nervex pro lugs. A simpler lug with only one cutout in the
otherwise standard lug shape.
>
> 2) Rapid taper rear stays as my International has. Does not have a crimp
if you know what I mean.
>
> 3) Probably a big hint, the dropouts are not cast (campy, huret or
simplex), but are a stamped steel. Seems better quality than on the
cheapest bikes, so I suspect better than a Grand Prix - but should not bias
you all. No derailleur hanger either.
>
> 4) Seatpost seems to be a 26.2mm, but my measurement could be slightly
off and it also could be slightly off from the correct size.
>
> 5) Not a slope crown fork. The fork crown is flat, chrome, with a
diamond ridge from left to right if you know what I mean - like on my PX -10
>
> 6) Braze ons: Has the rear loop with squarish lump for the rear center
pull brake as does my international. Has one braze one at each end of the
top tube for the rear cable. My international has two at each end, but
otherwise they look similar. There is a braze on for the derailleur clamp
on the down tube that looks just like on my international. And there is a
braze on small tube for the shift cable at the BB - sorry, I forget if for
the front or rear. Oh, and there are three holes in the head tube as on my
international for where the herron badge probably used to be.

> So, the question is, what do you think it is?
