For Sale: Masi speciale 56 cm. ugly but fast

Masi speciale 56 cm
Reynolds 853

This bike is a mashup of components which range from excellent to not that great. The bike is in good condition; although the decals are coming off. I built it a couple of years ago in America, and brought it over to London. It's ugly, but very light and in great working order. With some investment, you could have a great racer.

I might have this. Can I have first dibs and come up and see it in the flesh?

Shit the bed thats cheap for 853

NICE! Id of had that off you if i wasn't so short.

I will probably take it tbh as i have been after 853 for a while

Poo coloured sheets!
More than worth it for the frame alone.

Someones gonna be very happy:-)

853 is good........I have 1706

Just pm-ed you knowthejo...

just in case you are all getting a bit too excited, i don't think think this is an italian Masi made by Masi in the workshop under the vigorelli velodrome but an american importer frame. it could still be made in italy but not by Masi.
there is info available on the web with details about the use of the masi brand name in the u.s.

still a nice frame though :-)

Look

...the parade is covered in piss.

170 for 853? Doesnt matter what the make or the colour, got to be a real steal (pun intended)? ;)

i wasn't trying to suggest the seller was ripping anyone off, because they aren't.

Nope you make a very fair point and include that it's still a good deal.

Great price for a decent working bike.

Its all about the ride at the end of the day- ill be the judge tomorrow!

Great price for a decent working bike.

Yup, at 170 that will work out at under £50 a day for a whole year won't it Max?
