This is a rare opportunity to own a Masi Speciale Premio, a classic piece of cycling history hand-signed by the legendary Faliero Masi—known as the “Tailor of Champions.” With its bright red paint and high-gloss finish, this frame is not only a stunning showpiece but also a tribute to the pinnacle of Italian frame-building artistry.

Masi frames have been ridden by some of the greatest cyclists in history, including Eddy Merckx, Fausto Coppi, and Jacques Anquetil. These cycling legends raced on Masi frames, earning victories in the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, cementing the brand’s reputation for performance and craftsmanship. A signed Masi frame is a direct link to that golden era of cycling, embodying both the performance that made champions and the craftsmanship that defined an era​.

Condition:

• Overall Mint Condition: This frame has been hardly ridden, with minor scuffs and scratches in the usual areas (e.g., chainstay), and a small paint chip (1mm) under the top tube on the seat tube. There’s no rust, and all the decals are intact.
• Bright Red Paint: High-gloss finish with excellent decals still in place, this frame stands out not only for its design but for its preservation.
• Threads: All in excellent condition.

This frame is a rare find in its overall mint condition and especially coveted for the signature of Faliero Masi himself, known for his custom builds at the famous Vigorelli Velodrome. The authenticity of the Masi craftsmanship, combined with its rich history and impeccable ride quality, makes it a must-have for vintage cycling enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Don’t miss out on owning a true icon of cycling heritage. Whether for display or for adding to your collection, this Masi Speciale Premio is an exquisite example of the art of frame-building that has endured the test of time.
