now, early enough where the top tube rises a bit between the seat and head lug? A Masi measure 55?
BTW, my favorite color. I have 4. two Carlsbad, one San Marcos, one Vigorelli.
Not sold on that spoke lacing pattern... those rims are notorious for mounting fresh kevlar bead tires, I was given a set, but good rims, just misunderstood.
Look around for a set of yellow Binda straps...
Hunt-Wilde bar end plugs in White were OEM.( Masi forgot to send include bar end caps with the initial inventory)
for the "team" bikes at the shop we ran a length of cloth handlebar tape biased to the inside on the chainstay to catch chain slap.
