Masi Speciale Fixed Drop; is this a consolation?Masi bikes now "not so soon"
It seems our recent story about American/Italian bike brand Masi's imminent arrival on these shores was a tad premature.
We reported on 12th April that Masi in the USA had signed a deal with Monterey Industries in this country to distribute the bike brand in Europe.
