I have an old MASI frame which I still ride on occasionally.  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.
