|   Masi frameset question | sfsailor
Jan 26, 2004 4:31 PM | | I need to replace the frameset on my fixed gear that was run over by a car. Someone is offering me what he believes to be a Masi Prestige. It is a repaint with no decals, but has the following identifiers; "Masi" engraved on both rear stays, and a cutout M in the bottom bracket. He says it has a serial # but I was in my car and could not write it down. Does anyone know of a reference guide for Masi serial#s. Thanks for your help, trying to get back on the road. He is asking 150 including an older Campy headset and a Phil Wood BB. Thanks for any help-Rhett |

However, the Prestige is an Italian frame, so those numbers mean nothing. I've not seen any thing on the Italian serial numbers after the California-Italian split. |
