If you go to the De Rosa website and look under the Neo Primato models you find that the blue and white one is called the "Azzurro Ferretti". I'm thinking De Rosa wouldn't name a model after a bike made by Masi.....?????

Attached are a few pictures.
I can find mentions of the Ferretti team in 1970, 71, and 72. Apparently Gosta Petterson won the 1971 Giro for the Ferretti team. In the 73 TdF, Petterson had moved to the SCIC team.
The only decent bike photo I have is from the 1970 tour. It appears to have the odd butterfly-shaped cutouts in the bottom bracket that I associate with early Masi GCs. This photo and the ad for a Masi in Ferretti colors that was offered on Ebay a few years ago are evidence to nominate my working hypotheses that the Ferretti team bikes were Masi.
