Hi All!

I'm selling my dad's vintage Italian-built Masi Gran Criterium road bike. It's a beautiful, classic ten-speed with a lugged, steel frame. It's been stored away in an attic for twenty years, so it's time for it to go to a better home. Send me an email with your name and phone number if you have any questions about it or would like to come take a look! - Chris

Original light-blue paint in good condition
World Championship decals (very rare, one year only!)
Fischer fork crowns
36-hole rims (possibly Martano rims?)
Purchased from Sugden & Lynch in Menlo Park
Frame size is a Masi-measure 59cm (measured to the very top of the seat-tube lug?)
Very rare 4-port bottom bracket cutout
Campangolo everything (hubs, derailleurs, brakes, etc)

It does need just a little bit of work; no chain or pedals, and the brake pads, cables, and tires should be replaced. The frame is nearly rust-free (just a speck or two here and there), but it did get some splotches of house-paint on it (mostly on the front rim, though).

A Masi is like the Ferrari of bicycles - definitely worth checking out! Eddy Merckx rode Masis.
