Are you talking about the older steel frame Masis made in Italy (by Faliero himself) or California made (built by such notiable builders as Mario Confente, Brian Baylis, Albert Eisentraut, Dave Tesch, and more I can't think of). IF so, yes, very unique with a larger following, especially in Japan! However, if you're talking about the newest fat-tube, aluminum frame with carbon stays and fork. Well, its basically a cookie-cutter frame built somewhere in China (or Taiwan) with nothing really special about them. These bikes are basically the same as many "house-brand" mail order bikes. If you can find an ultegra version (same generic groups as other) for under $1200, then that's not a bad deal for what it is. Just don't expect it to have any of the following that "true" Masis have.... |

Former tiawanese cookie cutter stuff, later very nice, look great, ride like a dream. Modern steel Masis made by Alberto Masi in Milano, sold in the US under the name 'Milano'. |
