I have posted some new photos of the latest Masi Special that I have brought in from Italy. The bike has the world champion stripes on the seat tube stating the 1967-68 and 1968-69 pro road race wins, so it needs to have been built after the world's in 1968. The bike is incredibly clean shape with all original components. I doubt the bike has been used much at all. The only truly unexpected components are the saddle and brakes. It appears the saddle is a 'tuned' version as one of the saddle rivets has the name AVRES on it, so I guess the buyer was true to his 'butcher'. More appropriate would be a Unicanitor saddle. The brakes are Weinmann with the neat Q/R levers built into the lever. They also have quite fancy cable adjustors. The bike is a 59 cm 'Masi measurement' or a 57 cm C/C.
