Hello all - We've just restored a lovely Italian Masi 3V. I should keep it
myself, it is so nice, and just my size, but I feel the need to generate a
little cash for the business once in a while. And besides, I am getting ready
to restore a Prestige too that is also my size so may keep that instead.
Anyway, this one is a 55 cm (to the top, as Masi always measured them). The
pics show it in its original state, and restored. We chose the nice powder blue
pearl instead of the original red-orange. Hope no one is offended by that
choice. Also, you may notice that the right chain stay is no longer chromed.
Well, it is, under that paint. We had the bike re-chromed but the chain
stay had enough marks in it that it would not have looked good in chrome, so we
painted it and filled in all the imperfections. Asking $1200 for it before
throwing it to the ebay wolves. For list members I will put the original SR
headset back in if you want, and a new set of dropout screws. Here are the
pics: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/
ciao!
