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
