• Why ruin the Feng Shui of a Masi? I'd keep it to its design genre. If you want to install Zeitgeist Chinese parts on a bicycle then do so on a Zeitgeist Chinese carbon frame..
    The Masi prestige is a very 1970s frame. Its sought after as a 1970s frame. Standard would be Campa with Cinelli or TTT bars... perhaps some Modolo bits.. There were a lot of rather ecclectric parts around into the 1980s... Going outside of Italy... Zeus, CLB and a large number of lesser known parts could have graced a Masi.. Modern parts that could just as well been 1980s are been CNC'd by the likes of Paul, Phil Wood, White Industries, Ted Ciamillo (Gravitas/Zero Gravity) in the US..Royce etc etc etc in the UK and ......

    You are totally correct, what i am doing is going against even my natural instincts. I have a very nice c record/titanium mix which was going to go on it...and it still might in the future. The point is....why not?

    What i want to be able to do on my sunday rides, is show the carbon canondale brigade, as i fly past them, that apart from the lungs of the rider, and no matter how old or new your group is, "Look mum, no carbon!" (strictly speaking, there's plenty on the group).

    Plus, i got the group cheap and would rather put it on a steel steed that i want to ride. Also considering using a modern stem and bar setup with quill to ahead adapter and new dura ace c50 wheels. Might as well go all the way.

    What about putting this on? http://www.wigglestatic.com/images/cinelli-ram3-bar-2012-zoom.jpg
