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!

V at this time was for Verona. There was one contract builder there at the time.
bikes after 1973 with a V would be made by someone else.
