[NMCycling] Haro Bicycles Recalls Masi Evoluzione and Gran Corsa Bicycles Due to Fall Hazard and Risk of Injury Announced March 3, 2021

Thu Mar 4 17:49:01 MST 2021

Wow, I must be getting old.  I remember when Masis were made in Italy, not China, they were out of Columbus steel tubing, not carbon, and you didn't have to worry about the forks coming off!  Of course, I also remember Sparkler riding one to our math class in Mitchell hall too.  Ah, the early 80's, I miss them.
