Offered for sale is a restored 1969 Masi Special road racing bicycle. It is 58cm (center-to-top) or 56cm (c-t-c). The top tube is 56cm (c-t-c). The frame is made of Reynolds 531. This Masi has the rare Guinticiclio lug style (with additional cutouts). When I got the frame it had been repainted blue. It is listed on Bob Hovey’s Masi Registry. I had Brian Baylis paint it a long time ago in Faema Team colors. The six-slot bottom bracket shell is stamped B58 (B for Bergamo) below the cutout and M above it. The original Masi head badge is very nice and is fitted to the frame with screws, not rivets, like most other Masis. All the parts are either NOS or excellent used, period correct, parts of the time. It has the Campagnolo Nuovo Record group. The crankset is an NOS 1st edition Nuovo Record that looks like the 151 version but with 144mm bolt pattern. The chainrings nuts are the earlier, 1960s type with small writing. The chainrings are 51/42. The rear derailleur is stamped PATENT (no date). It has Campagnolo Gran Sport Record shifters. It has a nicely pantographed early Cinelli 1A stem. The handlebars are Cinelli old logo Criterium that measure 42cm end-to-end. The plugs are Milremo but I have some red Cinelli Milano plugs I can include. The seat post is also beautifully pantographed. The saddle is a NOS Cinelli Unicanitor. The wheels are NOS Nisi tubulars with Campagnolo hubs dated 69, laced with Stella spokes. The tire have not been glued. These tires are for display. I would use new tires if ridden. The freewheel is an NOS Regina G. Oro 5 speed with NOS Regina Super Corsa Oro chain. Included is a white, vintage Silca pump and ALE Masi water bottle. This is a really rare and sweet bike that is like a new bike. It’ll be great for collection or just ride it. Please see my other vintage bicycles and parts listings.
