I've got to admit my ignorance on his bike. What's the background? I know they go for big bucks...............boneman said:

When Faliero Masi left Milano to set up Masi in the States, his main man, among others, came from Italy to help him build Masi's in California before branching out on his own.

The Confente pics are all from the EBay posting and updated to the CR site recently. My files show the auction to have been June, 2001.
Here's some more info on Masi and his band of merry men. I've been to the shop under the Vigorelli Velodrome in Milano a couple of times but not since 2001. Alberto still runs the shop and then, before he became E-nabled, it was your typical small framebuilder shop. Of course having some of the more famous pro racers riding you bikes was a bit different!

The first Masi I saw was a 1969, custom made for a friend of my college roomie who had gone to Italy on vacation and had a Masi built to spec. He still had the original measuring sheet. I saw it in 1971, dark silver, complete Nuovo Record, tubulars and Unicantor saddle. I've wanted one ever since. I still see both the roomie and his friend. He still has it but won't sell it. I don't blame him.

Been running a "roadie bike porn" thread on an mtb board for the past 2 years or so. Up to 35 pages I think. This was the first post:

And here's the part you should be sitting down for. Winning bid? $2325!
No way. It was on ebay a couple of years ago, and was actually I think one of the early posts on the old retro board.Dave Hickey said:

Its on forum.bikemag.com, under "roadie bike porn". Lotsa fluff, way too many broken links, and lots were off the old retro board. I'll post the highlights here periodically though.tube_ee said:

thems is mine ;-)
dave if you are keen lemme know. i can still get 28/28 32/36 and 36/36.
below is a pic of the hubs pictured built up.
on another note - the old forum for retro-classics is gone - is all our porn lost forever. can we ask gregg if there is a way to salvage the old pics and links if it hasn't been wiped already ????

I should have givne you credit for the pic. I had it stored for a couple of years on my hard drive. Some people collect real porn, I collect bike porn. I might take you up on the 28/28 hubs. I have a project in mind.... As for the old post/pics, I heard we're going to able to view old posts in the future. I assume if we can view, we can still cut and paste.Spirito said:

Took some digging with dialup, but I think this is another Spirito special. I'm a sucker for boxes myself....

How much for the 36/36? Enquiring minds wanna know, especially when they are hoarding neat parts for a new custom frame....Spirito said:

damn ... that's pretty
a nice vintage cinelli super corsa in my size is the only thing i am hankering for. sadly, most peep's have way more cheeze to throw down for one than i do - but i have faith and will have one some day.
till then the most oft looked pics on my hard drive is of a nice example in burgundy that a well known collector in boston sold a a little whiles back.
it was a spanking example ... my size too, i didn't even ask the price but now i would jump at the chance. let that be a lesson for the you with a taste for the vintage world - they aren't made anymore and if something seems out of your league remember that its gonna be way out of your league in the future.
