Steve;

Silver with blue-panel decals was a standard Masi offering. The paint is pr obably original. Yes, the DT decal seems a bit high, but it has the correct seat tube bands. The real tipoff is that the word "Milano" has been razore d out of the HT and ST crests... this was standard practice at the time and it is a detail that many repainters overlook.

is on Ebay.? Item number 320183826488.? No relation to seller.

This is listed as a 1975.? 51cm.? It is a silver bike with blue cutouts and blue decals.? I've not seen this paint scheme before on a 70s Cali Masi, and the downtube GC sticker looks a bit high to my eyes. Is this a repaint?
