Masi 3V Volumetrica Top Class Road Bike 1990

In the early 1980s Alberto Masi had a great idea. The idea to combine an extremely advanced oversized steel tubing with even more advanced internal lugs, hidden in the frame. After several experiments, in 1984, Masi Milano presented the first Masi 3V Volumetrica to the world.

His invention was an inspiration and starting shot for oversized tube frames all over the world. To this day the subtle and elegant construction does not seize to amaze the beholder.
What you can see here is one of those legendary 3Vs and it is in a fantastic condition. Being a frame from 1990 you can see some rather exciting fading paintjob.

And then there are the very special chromed headlugs. Now that is  a detail you do not find often on any Masi bicycle.

Moreover the frame has been equipped with a complete Campagnolo groupset of the C-Record series. The whole combination looks simply stunning.

This piece is one of the finest Italian invention as far as steel road bikes of this era are concerned. A perfect visualisation of craftsmanship and class.
It is an extremely reliable, strong road bicycle, suitable for any collection or to turn some heads on your Sunday ride.
