I have every respect for Bob Hovey's assessment of most anything Masi, but I
will say that ugly is often in the eye of the beholder and that to me they
are by no means ugly.I have owned two that I felt strikingly beautiful and I
still feel that the one I own now is a stunner.
http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Tom-Sanders-Pictures/ It may have
been a cheaper way to build, and even resulted in a heavier bike than one
might think, but for me and others on this list they have a unique and
comfortable ride and ability to accelerate, mostly due to stiffness, I
would guess, that other more expensive bikes can only aspire to. After
years of 3V ownership, I really can find little fault with them. Next time
I get down to Georgia, I'm going to put Bob on mine and watch him change his
mind to a more favorable opinion, even though he may just be reporting on
other's aesthetic sense here.
