We have a thing called winter here in Finland. Actually it's not winter yet but it's very dark all aroud the clock and it rains all the time. Sun rises like 9am and sets at 4-5pm and between that it's not too good weather so proper pics can take awhile :D If a sunny weekend day appears when I'm home I have the camera ready though!

So I contacted masi about a damaged NDS frame decal. I messaged their shops facebook account and I think the answer was not directly from Alberto as the english was quite good. I told I could use a decal set for possible future restoration (not that I'm touching the paint as it sits but just a backup for the future). The reply was that they happened to have one original set still in the shop and it would cost me 40€ including shipping. I replied with my address and told the price is ok.
After waiting for a couple days I got a message request directly from Alberto. He sent me shipping details. After I asked for the payment details he let me know the decals are a gift for me. Very respectable and I ofcourse accepted it with grateful feelings. I still would have understood that I they would atleast charge for shipping but whatever.
The shipment itself was stylish as should be expected and I will save the envelope + decals for future.

About
M for Masi - by Josbanse

Hello folks. It's time to start a project here. Mainly because I kinda need some parts so what's a better way to ask for attention right? :D
The bike is ordered from Masi in 1976 and delivered in 1977. It was owned by a Finnish national level rider and I bought it after few years of negotiations. The bike is 56c-c for the top tube so right at my sizing.
I got it with a full set of 151bcd era campagnolo groupset including 2 wheelsets and 8 chainrings. The wheels are built by Faliero and the race wheels have the Masi famous Martano rims with 28h hubs and soldered spokes. The training wheels have nisi rims and 32 or 36h spokes (gotta check that).
What I need for the project is a track stem + bars. I have 2 pieces of the cinelli 2A track stem in 110mm but no extra pista bars.
If someone has extra bars, Cinelli Pista or Cinelli Criterium hit me a pm. Also the steel version of the cinelli pista cockpit is right at my alley. For the aluminum bars I'm mainly after the old logo ones. I can trade in one of the 2A stems for extra bars. You can also offer the newer model bars and I'll have a look.
I have a little bit cleaning to do for the project as there is some very minor rust spots in the pedals and straps etc. Gladly there is no peeling of chorme anywhere and everything can be cleaned with some citric acid solution and polished after that. The saddle is masi original and I will try to get new side logos as my friend has done those so that you transfer the logo with heat to the leather.
Few crappy pics for the beginning.
