I cannot wait to get it all dirty - I know, I know white is not ideal for CX but hey it looks really nice for a little while :)

That is one gorgeous bike!!!!! Nice to know that they make a cross bike.

I see that it has the Campagnolo V-brake with the integrated shifters. I always wondered if this worked together, now I know......

Thanks - actually several of our frame models are available in CX geometry - you just have to ask. :) - I'll let you know how it rides once I've had some time on it. Can't wait!!!

Sweet! Those wheels are bombproof. I had a set once and was quite surprised how tough they were for the price.

I've just gotta say, that is one pricey steel 'cross bike. Don't get me wrong, I drool over the beauty of the Tommasini frames, but I don't know if I could bring myself to take it out on a CX course.

Yes - I run the family office for our brand - Tommasini. But I did have my buddy Sky at VeloCult make some adjustments for me.

Well since I only ride our brand (Tommasini) I did not want to beat up one of our really expensive ones like the velocista. :)

I've seen ads in magazines that seemed to put tommasini's US headquarters in the valley somewhere, at a particular bike shop I think. Is that correct? If so, where? Cuz I'd like to go drool over some bikes some day.

-also- are you going to race this season? http://www.socalcross.org/

Our US headquarters are in San Diego and we have a private office - not open to the public. But we do have dealers across the US and they typically have frames in stock but most frames are made to order.

yeah - it's a new sport for me so I'm really looking forward to learning and having some fun. I have already contacted Dot at socalcross about clinics in San Diego - hope to hear back soon!

Oh, I was thinking of torelli. They're in the valley apparently. I think they import from taiwan.

What tires were you running? I know I will need to get some knobbier ones for muddy conditions. These will work for drier trails and using the bike for commuting - but please send suggestions on tires if you have them.
