I really makes me think of a Yamaguchi custom tt track frame. Also the use of True Temper and the details on the frame look like Koichi's work. Maybe it's a custom Masi order, made by Koichi in Colorado?

Interesting thought Chaim. Although the Masi name was known to have subcontracted frames out to other builders (both in the US & Italy) I'm not sure if Yamaguchi was one of those builders. I'm not even sure if the frame is made of True Temper tubing - I suspect they may just be decalled as such for advertising/ commercial reasons. Thanks for the comment and until someone comes out and says: "hey, I built that!" it will be a frame with so many possibilities..
