I'm still looking for a vehicle to the dark side. I would still prefer a cross bike but I would give a cool road bike a try. What happened to MASI they were an expensive brand back in the day, and now I see them cheep. Greenfish has super cheep Masi frame sets on their website. How come?

My understanding is that the Masi family sold the name and the frames are no longer made in Italy. Still a quality product though from all the reviews I've read over the last few years.
