I scored this frame today...

[loco-gringo]

I thought I was getting a 58cm, which would have to be adjusted a bit, but it turns out that the little guys overseas boxed one wrong. 56cm at cost, closeout cost that is. I'll use my EC90 SL on it, so I get to sell the EC70 too.

Dediacci 16.5 with Black Tail and Black box stays. Once I get a 31.8 front derailleur, I'll post pics. Here's a generic shot for now. Woot!!!

Pretty I am not sure why Masi's aren't more popular maybe its the Haro connection......

[loco-gringo]

Yeah - it's unfortunate, as I think Haro has really stepped up to the plate in a lot of respects. I am stoked we carry them, but I'm also stoked we have the big S, Trek and Giant.

Yeah - I know - we're whores. ;)

the shop that is one of our sponsors carries Masi...lotta bang for the buck. nice score bogey

[splat]

I like Masi's , nice find

Yeah - I know - we're whores. ;)

and there is a problem with that ??? :busted:

That's a gorgeous bike. But you ride a 56? I'm 5'9" and my old Serotta is a 54? I woulda thought you'd be more like a 58 or 60.

Just shy of 6 ft. I prefer a 56 with a shortish stem and the saddle slammed back. I tried a 58 again yesterday and didn't love it, but could make it work. My derailleur should be here tomorrow, so I'll have more news soon.

So how many bikes does this make for your short tenure as a shop rat?

Several.

Shakedown in the AM and pics in a day or two. I didn't get my derailleur I was supposed to today, but should on Friday. I shimmed it with an XT band for now. It's gonna kick ass.

another? damn...bike whore.

way off topic....

how's Giant's warranty department? i was working on a TCR Advanced and found a crack/ crushed spot on the seat tube. customer swears up and down she doesn't know what happened, other than the bike falling over once recently. no signs of impacts or anything other than the crack.

pretty nice ride...full Record, ESs, Record/ Open Pro backups. she did a 600kilo ride a couple weeks ago. crazy.

They've always been good, but it sounds like she needs a crash replacement. Never used them for that. I am sure they are fine.

beautiful ride , makes me want to go to my LBS [there a masi dealer] and pick one up .

[G-Cracker]

Very nice! Same wheel/tire combo as my Fuji.

[loco-gringo]

That's actually just a pic. I'll post mine when I have new pedals. It has Xero XR-1 wheels on it though. I'll give the complete run down when I get a pic. It is the same frame on mine. It rides REALLY nice.
