Maserati might have gotten things about right in the auto-cycle game.

more Maserati might have gotten things about right in the auto-cycle game. Instead of aiming for space-age technology it went retro big time with its 8CTF bike, a limited-to-200 fixie (fixed-speed bicycle, like we all used to ride as kids) made in partnership with well-known Sicilian bike-maker Montante Cicli.
Anyone obsessed with Maser lore will recognize the bike’s alphanumeric name as a reference to the racing car driven to victory seven decades back at Indianapolis by Wilbur Shaw.
