I found this frame in Spain and fell in love with it. Its a pretty rare frame, I've never seen another one in person and not many people are familiar with Massi. Whoever built this frame put some serious love into it. Columbus Genius tubing, panto all over, chrome lugs, stays, fork and an amazing paint jog. I've wondered if this was built in Italy and rebadged Massi-- whatever the story, the frame is gorgeous and I tried my best to use complimentary components. Built frame up. Better pictures later. Anyone has any info into Massi let me know. And, yeah I wish there was no tensioner, but the dropouts are vert. Try not to hate too much! =)

this bike deserves to be built up as a geared bike. Its an amazing frame and needs the right parts instead of being a boring single speed

I agree.....I already have a road bike that sees lots of use. Would love to put a full Campy group on this frame.....but for now it goes single speed. Thanks for the comment......=)

Good call on the Athena/Chorus. I don't know anything about the brand, but I do know that a couple Massi's have popped up on my local CL over the past year. So, they're out there.
