RE: [CR]fixie thing has gone too far!

Does anyone else think that bike doesn't look very "Gran Criterium"-like? I'm not sure I've ever seen any Masi with double taper seat stays, as that bike appears to have. Same for the fork crown. And I don't think I've ever seen a Gran Criterium with those lugs.

I suppose that bike could have been a later, Billato-built, Gran Corsa, but I'm not very familiar with those. Of course, I defer to our more expert Masistas on this . . . but, notwithstanding the former decals, I don't think that is a GC.

stuff like this makes me sad, but I'm preaching to the choir. Are Masi's co mmon trash in California?

OK, it mostly steams me because Italian bikes are so rare in Idaho-I think I've seen three in ten years...
