My Massi, which I thought I'd take pictures of while at my parents in France, and dare to post it here if the pron police let me.
From my uni years, in the Massif Central.
Now retired in Normandy, my dad uses it a little bit when he needs to access through fields/paths.
Basically I had a decathlon mountain bike with a decent cro-mo frame and STX rc groupset. I sold the frame and bought instead the Massi, cro-mo as well but Fuji Stout-Light (was told it was better than the decathlon stuff) with a more sloping geo, curved stays, and generally a more desirable look, with the varnished brushed steel finish... It wasn't crazy expensive but was definitely a well made frame, with really clean welds. I used to be asked if it was Ti when riding it. Forks are the original cro-mo decathlon ones, I always wanted to upgrade them for something nicer, which never happened. I found the matching Massi grips in a bike shop sale years later. One day I'll bring it back to London and try to upgrade it a bit, with a few fancy components maybe, but mostly in the hope to ride it again...
