Again, somehing lovely on Ebay. But these don't come aroud often. 1982 Masi Pista, all kitted out with classic vintage Campy & Cinelli parts. Here, click.
And yeah, everyone knows that Keirin bikes are cool but Italian vintage Pista bikes are million times cooler, period.
But what's so special about Masi bicycles and Faliero Masi as a framemaker? Well, he's one of guys who embodies the magic of vintage Italian bikes and artesanal framemakers. He raced himself before starting making bikes, he had his workshop beneath the Vigorelli velodrome in Milan, there was a time when his bikes had the tightest geometry of them all, the best riders rode his bikes (for example, Fausto Coppi had a Bianchi sponsorship, yet the frame he rode was actually a Masi) and so on. Read more here. Or here.
And as if this wasn't enough, the same Ebay-seller has this for sale too, a 1977 Medici Pro Pista.
