Vegas Report, installment 2




MMMmmm... look at this delicious new full-carbon Masi. High Modulus Carbon lugs and tubes, with parts so good there's literally nothing to upgrade. It's even got Dura-Ace wheels! Kudos to Tim Jackson, brand manager at Masi, for making this bike happen. It's expensive, but like I said... there is absolutely nothing to upgrade. Slap on your favorite pedals, and you've got a no-compromise professional-level racing machine.

Dang, you're gonna make me blush like a little school girl...

I'm glad you guys liked it and I hope to see a few ship your direction. Tell your customers they can always contact me directly if they have a question. That's why I'm here...

That is one sweet riding frame. I should think so since I run the brand, but I honestly think it is one of the nicest riding frames I've ever tossed a leg over.

Like I probably said in Vegas, I was thoroughly impressed with the ride of the prototype. I mean, at 210 pounds and being a track sprinter, carbon and I have never gotten along well. However, this frame rides about as stiff as my Speciale Carbon (steel/carbon). I have very low expectations for carbon and I was about a mile from the office the first time I rode the frame and I called my cohort, our Senior Product Manager, on my cell phone and told him to get on the phone and order me my own frame.

OK, I didn't mean to start rambling and sounding all "salesguy" here.
