Description from the seller
Mass Firebird Vintage - Vintage Racing Bicycle with Columbus Tubes Shimano 105
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In this auction, a dynamic and fascinating vintage racing bicycle signed by Mass, the famous Italian frame builder, model Firebird. The frame is made with precious Columbus steel tubes, complete with an identifying badge "Manufactured in Italy by Mass - Limited Edition" located near the bottom bracket. The finish showcases a bright, unmistakable metallic blue color with a bright yellow fork and details, enriched by the original Firebird graphics on the top tube and the Mass logo distributed along the frame.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND VISIBLE COMPONENTS
The bicycle features an excellent vintage Shimano gruppo. The drivetrain includes a Shimano 105 rear derailleur, front derailleur Shimano, aluminum Shimano Exage triple chainset with vintage pedals and integrated shift/brake levers on the handlebars Shimano. The braking system uses classic Shimano RX100 brake calipers. The cockpit consists of a vintage racing handlebar stem and curved drop, wrapped with blue tape to match. The setup is completed with a vintage two-tone yellow/blue sport saddle, a metal bottle cage on the frame, and 28-inch wheels with SRG 30 Apollo aluminum rims.
CONDITION AND RECOMMENDED WORK
Being a preserved vintage specimen that has been left inactive in a garage or storage, the frame structure and mechanical components present overall good condition. As a vintage vehicle kept at rest, before putting it back on the road it is advisable to perform a general routine service, greasing and lubrication of the pivots, adjustment of brake/cable shift cables, and tire inspection. Aesthetically, the paint maintains its original shine, though it shows physiological and slight signs of age or superficial scratches related to time.
SHIPPING AND PACKING NOTES
The lot will be packed with extreme care and shipped by courier with tracking and insurance. Note that, to ensure safer shipping and reduce package volume, some parts of the bicycle may be disassembled, such as pedals, saddle, wheels, and the handlebar may be rotated.
