"RE: Masi Gran Criterium C8376
This bike would have been built in the third quarter of 1983.
Moulton was gone when this bike was built... he was laid off at the end of '81 due to excess of inventory. Masi sold warehoused bikes thruout '82 which explains why there are so few '82's on the Registry (and they are mostly Pistas, which were done on an as-ordered basis). Moulton was asked to return in 1983 but declined as he was by that time heavily involved with his own bikes. Tesch was hired instead. Joe Starck was not hired until December of '84
Bob, December 16, 1983. -JS
so your bike's builder was probably either Tesch or Kirkbride
Bob,
Definitely Dave Tesch, filed and finished by Gregorio; it was in "the third quarter of '83" that I began phone correspondence with Tesch in deciding to exit University of Wisconsin(I was failing French anyway)and enter SoCal-Masi "roiling cauldron of egos." Rob Roberson made a couple batches of GCs in '84, frames only.
