I once got to clean up and bring back a Carlsbad Masi and it was so enjoyable. Just did it again with another Carlsbad GC and had just as much fun. If you use 0000 steel wool on the top tube brake cable guides you can knock off the rust and polish up the chrome. Great job bringing it back to life. What a dream find. I used to go to garage sales in the San Fernando valley hoping to find what you did: a Masi. Looks like it got the KMC chain at the same time as the Ultra freewheel. Richard Sachs thought the V was a batch code indicator and not a location of where it was built indicator. Simon or Alberto should know for sure. Have fun!
