All Masi lookers, If you look at the pic of the top/head/seat tube you don't need anyone to point out what your eyes see....at first I thought it was a shadow....it's harder to see with the paint stripped. It certainly raised a question mark in my mind. As for the seller, with ZERO feedbacks what reputation is at stake?? It's a very fair question to ask and have explained. Matt in SoHell, CA

i am replying to this again (see mailbottom).
somehow the ebay seller got news that i posted an opinion on a private
forum re his ebay item and that opinion has tarnished his sale. just so
that he is happy, let me retract one comment:
once i decided that this frame had tubes that showed evidence of being
damaged in the form of wrinkles on the top and down tubes, it wasn't
that i DECLINED to buy it for that reason - i offered to buy it for less
than the price the seller was asking. he sent me the frame via fedex on
his dime and i sent it back to him via fedex on my dime.
at this point, an email from him to me )cc-ed to dale) proves that he is
upset about this and rightfully so. but (BUT!) i did state my position
to him re the status of this frame upon its return and he was aware that
i inspected it with the opportunity to buy it. based on my inspection i
decided it was not worth it because of the irregularities on the tube
surfaces.
as i inferred, i would never do thia in public, and i hoped that this
private by-subscription-only forum was an okay place to share an
opinion, since i've been here since 1999. well - i am sorry i warned
anybody cuz now i got some guy on the west coast disagreeing with me and
he's upaet too.

Hardly a bad thing at all! If you were about to buy a car I knew had been crashed and compromised, and I, as your friend, didn't inform you, it would be terrible! Thank you Richard! Dale Brown Greensboro, North Carolina
for the record...
i would never do this in a public forum.
one more thing: i am not sure the owner
is the seller. the owner clearly knew
what i knew. the seller registered with
ebay JUST YESTERDAY.
