Well, I made the jump.

I have had a mid 90s mountain bike that I was using for light touring for years. The frame was a little too big but made it work. well I finally saved a little scratch and landed on this



Im pretty excited

Always liked Masi steel frames. Back in the day, Masi road bikes were a big deal among local racers.

The segmented fork is definitely not something you see on production bikes right now. Neat look.
