This is directed mainly to Mike Howard, whose recent posts I have read with interest regarding the Masi diaspora. Very topical for me, since I had started to poke around on the same topic and had already found other great material, particularly on Bob Hovey's site.
My specific question is regarding a later Simonetti that I picked up for a "daily driver" as I sell off some other more collectable bikes.
The frame is fillet brazed, dazzling red/yellow/black paint. It has the Simo head decal with the (former) Medici lion and the serial number is 59 S[or 8?]00120. Last number is hard to read as it is close to BB edge--it could also be an "8".
I'd love to know the tubing & approx production date...
Cheers,
Dean
