New Guy-Golden Colorado

[Mario Confente]

Hello to all and thanks for this great forum. I am an ex-bicycle racer from the early 80s, turned into a full time middle aged guy who is a hotrodder part time. Cheers to all. Mario Confente

Welcome. Any relation to the late frame builder Mario Confente.

No relation-However, I have always admired people that can hand craft fine pieces of mechanical art with their hands. Mario was (in my humble opinion) the most talented frame builer during the hayday of Italian racing bicycles. I have been looking for a Confente built Masi for years. I collect late 70s and early 80s Italian racing bikes as a side hobby and would love to add a Confente built bike. Thanks.
