Masi GC project

A suspicious looking Pinarello...




Flipping the frame over it's clear by the M cut out that this is a Masi. The stamped code M53 indicating Masi / 53mm frame size.






Restored and painted double fork crown - M53 & 9 73 stamps confirm the frame dates to September 1973 and probably one of the last italian made Masi GC's before the move to Carlsbad.




A mix of incorrect parts: Super Record Pat. 80 front & rear derailleurs, simplex gear shifters, c-record headset & brake levers etc are removed to be replaced with full NR.
