Your video explanation of the design goals of this frame convinced me to buy my first one, and my girlfriend and I have three now between us. Sure, it's a 'dated' frame by today's standards (BB30, asym, tapered headtube, skinny-ass seatstays, etc.) that really only got as best as a 'good all-rounder' interview online, but it is QUICK and COMFORTABLE - the best of both worlds for me, and I've ridden A LOT of bikes.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Tim, and know it's appreciated. (Only because of you is Focus on my list of bikes to demo next).Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-23562121574350548912011-08-10T04:24:28.115-07:002011-08-10T04:24:28.115-07:00classclassbike repairs reigatehttp://www.rosscycles.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-21710001818248199802011-05-26T10:08:19.490-07:002011-05-26T10:08:19.490-07:00just herd from guys at allied cycle made me sad yo...just herd from guys at allied cycle made me sad you sold me my gran crit through ira's in arroyo grande CA.i e-mailed you after your crash told you would be back on your feet i didn't think this far but good on you.just got a 3V team issue to race on this year love it too.best wishes on your new journey we will miss you class act!10:01am 5/26/2011 thanks J.T.WILSONjoel wilsonhttp://joelmasiwilson@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-51112752528311059942011-03-06T02:01:34.987-08:002011-03-06T02:01:34.987-08:00Tim,

My Daughter and I have watched that video a thousand times, and a thousand times it brought smiles to our faces. Now I am positively hooked on the 2011 Gran Criterium, lugged frame.... You are a HUGE part of my decision to buy that bike in a few weeks....and you were a HUGE reason for me getting back into cycling. I feel like I'm saying "Good Bye" to an old friend... I will miss you on the Masi pages! Good Bye, and Good Luck Tim, and see you on your next endeavor!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463637453942351721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11219197.post-35417341630759958712011-02-04T05:28:26.815-08:002011-02-04T05:28:26.815-08:00Congratulations, Tim, and good luck with ASI.

He convinced me to buy a Masi Alare too because he loved his new one so much. <br /><br />Obviously it's not the highest end of the Masi spectrum but that bike has been a great ride for me and has gotten me from just being a city commuter to someone who does long weekend rides and is training for my first century.<br /><br />While I haven't commented on your blog very often, I've been a reader (and a Masi fan on facebook and twitter) ever since I got my bike and your enthusiasm has always helped stoke my enthusiasm. I've drooled over the newer releases as they come out and I figured whenever I get to the point where I'd upgrade it would be to a new Masi.<br /><br />So in that sense I'm sorry you're leaving Masi. I feel like you've influenced the company's sense of style and design. I hope that direction will continue in your absence. Will Masi also continue to push the envelope via how it communicates with its followers? Is someone stepping into your saddle, so to speak?<br /><br />Obviously I wish you the best as you embark on what sounds like a great opportunity. I can't begrudge you that!
