BICYCLES IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE 2011 COLLECTION It is our belief that a bicycle should stir a rider’s passion and inspire them to ride further, climb higher and sprint faster. Whether ridden to race wins real or imaginary, or just ridden around town to the corner market to get a gallon of milk or a cup of coffee, the bicycle should awak- en emotions in its rider. With a history that spans the better part of 70 years, we’ve learned a thing or two about what it takes to craft bicycles that are a joy to ride as well as functional works of art. Today Masi Bicycles carry on the rich history of the brand while creating a new legend. A lot has changed since John Kemp Starley introduced the modern “safety bicycle” in 1885. With materials and designs changing so dramatically over the years, the one thing that has remained a constant is the need for the bicycle and rider to work in balance with each other. Each Masi is designed to work in harmony with the rider and with the type of riding to be done, creating that per- fect ride. Current champions and legendary greats like Merckx, Anquetil, Coppi and Gimondi have selected Masi over the years for the same reasons as you; they demand nothing less than the best. Masi Bicycles believes that it’s all about the ride and we think you feel the same way.
