Hi Mike,
Welcome to the CR list! Your name is often mentioned among us vintage lightweight collectors as one of the demi-gods during the early USA/CA framebuilding period.
I have been on the CR list for close to 10 yrs and the folks are knowledgeable and most helpful.
The early days (certainly pre-1980) of CA Masi are full of speculation, opinions and lore. That is one reason I recently purchased a 1978 (2nd qtr) Masi GC. Can you tell me what framebuilders were working during this period? I know its too much to ask who specifically built my frame...part of the mystery. Anyway, welcome aboard CR and I'm sure your first-hand (and even second-hand) knowledge will be most helpful and appreciated.
