A new shop opened up locally and they have that Masi Chixed for $750. Total winter blowout price, but definitely eye catching. I think it's almost too flashy.
You've gotten a lot of mileage out of your Masi. I'm loyal to the KHS Flite 100, but both are very good cheap TIG steel frames, so not much difference.
I haven't been to HK yet. Still trying to finish my degree, and money's been tight. I do definitely need to get there before he leaves… going to Europe for 10 weeks in '08 left me feeling like I don't just want to go for 2 weeks…
1 week is more than enough for HK. It's a small place. If you're going to come for longer you should spend 3-4 days in Hk and the rest of your time on the mainland. The list of stuff to do and see is endless here…
