right said fred. if you read the archives and/or follow this stuff, you'll know that the hj stuff came really late and, in that era, there were no eenie gc's marked or imported. i.e. my comment also inferred the country of origin. as chuck often says, "...it's in the archives."

Ted, I'm only guessing here but I suspect Richard's point is that because of the year in which it was built and the use of Henry James lugs, this bike - despite being a Masi - is not really anything special. That isn't to say it's not built well, because Joe Stark is an excellent frame builder (as were all the Masi builders, it seems). So other than the Masi decals, there's little of the magic to distinguish it from other high quality, hand-built frames. Does that sound about right? Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
