The current breed of MASI's are made somewhere in Southren California, I think by the same folks that produce the Medici bikes (this may be inaccuarate but the Medici and Masi frames are nearly identical). The "standard" Masi frames are made of Reynolds 531-SL tubing and come in every size from 48cm to 63cm (or they used to). Masi's other bike is the Prestige, which is made out of Reynolds 753 tubing - the ultralight, ultra-strong stuff. I have seen one of these bikes in the last 5 years so it could be that this frame is no longer being imported or made. The Prestige model was always made in Italy as far as I know. Pricing for the Masi frames is high, the standard model - the Gran Criterium - runs for about $600 to $700 and the Prestige was priced at $800 to $900. To quote the immortal Bill the Cat, "GACK".
