  1. OK, this should be interesting. I'd love to hear comparisons
    between these two frames. Weight, ride, differences, etc.
    I saw a Master XL at a LBS and fell in love with the fit, finish
    and details. It got away. Now I'm in the market and the Tecnos has come to my attention. So...the more the merrier.

    Got them both,but the Tecnos is no longer listed by the US distributor. Both use to be made with Columbus nivachrom tubing(ML now listed as Columbus DT15V),but each has it's own distinctive proprietary tube shaping.The Tecnos is a bit lighter and supposedly made for a slightly lighter rider weight,but I don't recall what the cutoff was.Cannot really tell the difference in ride,and both are absolutely top rung,and that is in comparison to other fine steel including a Serotta CSi. Think the advertized frame weight of a ML in about a 56 was around 1800g.
