Masi Milano 3V 314 Volumetrica Classic Road Frame & Fork | 54cm Med | Pearl White

Description

⭐Condition
Exceptional condition following a meticulous restoration that showcases the elegance of this rare frame. The front lugs were professionally stripped and sanded to reveal the original chrome while other lugs were left untouched. The frame was color matched to preserve the original logos while removing blemishes from light riding. Some noticeable discoloration on the headtube from restoration.  The entire frame was coated with a protective finish.

🚴The Ride
The 3V Volumetrica uses thinner walled tubes with larger diameters and Alberto’s own internally lugged method where frame tubes are cut to exact size, slippered over the lugs and silver-soldered into position. This construction delivers the stiffness and responsiveness that made frames like this the choice of champions. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a ride that will teleport you into the golden years of cycling innovation.

🔧Workshop Wisdom
At the seat tube cluster and bottom bracket, you can see the seamless junctions where larger diameter tubes slip over the reinforced sections – Alberto’s revolutionary internal lug system that started the oversized tube revolution.
