Interesting that the beginning bid is low and there isn't a reserve. This one will be fun to follow. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL USA

Here's a rare beast...so rare, in fact, that you'd probably see only a very few in your lifetime:
Masi Special with Nervex lugs and an unusual crown that I've seen only on one other Special of this sort. Too bad the bike was repainted Gran Criterium style, but, in a 50 year old bike ya can't have everything.
Very cool, imho. Almost certainly came in through Berkeley Velosport. I'm deeply thankful it's nowhere near my size.

Q: "Why do people spoil everything for themselves?
A: "In big ways, and little ways too, people do that all the time to themselves. We can't stand prosperity. We have to tinker with the machinery."
