Hi. I've had a Simoncini frame in the garage since buying it as part of a job-lot of stuff, years ago. Finally decided to try and sell it (too small for me), so I'm hoping to glean a little info on...

Does this Masi look legit? Too cheap?

I came across this retro-modern Masi build for sale here in Sweden. Price is approx $950. I'm not an expert in high-end Italian frames, but the price seems... low? Anybody have any views?

Thanks....

That looks sweet. How’s the rear brake? I found the combination of modern Shimano NSSLR levers with those canti brakes to be sub-optimal.

I’ve barely ridden it so far, but it’s clear that there’s quite a bit of flex (I weigh 85kg/190lbs). I like to think of it as built-in comfort!
