BTW, I believe the frame size Masi stamped on the BB was c-t-t or maybe even to the top of the seatlug. My Prestige is marked 56, but I think it is more like 54 or 54.5 c-t-c.

\r?\n> I am offering for sale a 52cm(c-t) 1976 Alberto Masi
\r?\n> Prestige in vgc. The bike
\r?\n> is equipped with SR/NR components and has a pantho stem and
\r?\n> seat post. The
\r?\n> serial number is CD76. All bearings run smooth.
\r?\n> This bike has hardly been ridden and is in great condition.
\r?\n> Just check the
\r?\n> pictures for that. There is some chain slap and a scratch
\r?\n> on the bottom of the
\r?\n> down tube, see the pics for that. The seat stay has two
\r?\n> tiny chips (ca. 1/16")
\r?\n> halfway down. Aside from that, nada.
\r?\n> The top tube measures 53cm c-c.
\r?\n> The stem is 90mm, the bars 40cm. Seat post measures 27.7.
\r?\n> The freewheel is an Everest, the saddle a Concor

\r?\n> It comes with a Silca Impero Masi branded pump with Campy
\r?\n> head.
