eBay and Craigslist finds

Hmm. Could be an Air seatpost too, you'd never find one of those.

Also those negative tapered seat stays are pure porn

Do you really need wider if you only intend to ride on roads? Honest question...

@coventry_eagle good shout, that'll be it.

@sumo ah man. Columbus Air makes it even worse, always wanted to scratch that itch but have to agree with you.

Lol @jambon stop trying to convince yourself you shouldn’t buy it when you know you should...

get it and give me first dibs :)

Ha, is it that obvious? Slightly different but got my eye on this for about town/Tweed Run duties too.

I wonder who has put it on eBay?

Very cryptic Sean: do you know the history of the frame?

Already been posted :) Baragin.

Ah, apologies!

Well you don't need anything.. But wider tyres are faster, more comfortable and can be extra grippy.

I'll never buy a bike that fits less than 28s

Banging Reynolds 531ATB, make this into a 'monstourer'.

Small CAAD10 Disc frame for £75

If only that had guard mounts, would buy for the other half to commute

Oh Graham is selling again, I wonder which poor buggers are working for him now

Yeah I noticed that.

60s Masi pista - restored which must mean the paint which looks an odd colour for a frame this age.
Only £2,500

I wouldn't know if it's a period colour, but I like it. Plain white decals were a good call. The world champ bands on the seat tube are a bit busy though.

The window in the fork lug is lovely.

And I wouldn't know if it's worth the asking price, but for the money I'd expect the BB shell to be faced and the seatpost clamp opened up. I'd also want to see Masi's confirmation and ask about the dent in the NDS chain stay.

Given they claim "There was no damage to it . All threads checked", I'm not filled with confidence that it really is "Fully restored.".

I messaged the seller. They bought it with a strange paint work which I can only describe as "incredible hulk green" and decided on the blue which to my eyes is wrong. Looking online Masi frames from that period have a far more subdued colour.
For me if you had the frame and it needed to be painted, surely you would ask Masi themselves for guidance.

They also said "There was no damage to the frame but the workshop did build up a bit the headset race on the fork as it was a bit worn and we needed to avoid any play on the headset"
I think the price is at least a £1,000 too high given the new paint. And yes you would want to see the provenance that they refer to.
And yes the NDS chainstay dent

Not exactly a diamond in the rough but a job lot for 50 quid currently, collection only in London, might be of interest to someone:
