Came across this bike and looking for some help with value. Thanks for the advice.

For sale is my Tommasini road bike decked out with a full Campy C-Record group. Bought in 1988 for $3800 and then put away in storage after a couple of rides. It has been stored all this time and has never been ridden. This bike is in near mint condition. A real find for a collector.

- 58cm Tommasini Frame hand build in 1987-88
- COLUMBUS SL tubing frame and fork
- Awesome silver and gold scale over black paint job.
- As I said FULL Campy C-Record group with Delta brakes
- 170 length crank arms
- Of course Italian threads on headset and bottom bracket
- Regal Girardi seat
- Cinelli stem and bars(65-40)
- Ambrosio AERO rims

Pretty bike.

Value?

$1,500 or so.

+1. Thats the entry level price for an Italian bike w/ Deltas. Alot will depend on the frame size (58cm is a popular size) and time of year its sold.

Thanks guys, I kinda figured it would be around that ballpark. Is C-Record with Deltas worth significantly more than older super record? I'm not sure that i'm 100% sold on the Deltas, but they sure seem to pull big bucks on ebay.

gomango

Yes, it is.

If you have a mechanic to set up the Deltas, you're aces.

I happen to have one and I still don't use them.

Yes, they will pull big bucks on ebay.

The bike you are looking at should be left intact. imho

I have owned four of this brand, but none of them are as nice as this one.

The paint is quite unique, and holds a great deal of visual interest for me.

Many positives for this bike and zero minuses.


Buy it and enjoy it. That's my recommendation.

thirdgenbird

want my extremely biased opinion? (tommasini owner/campy enthusiast)

i wouldnt flinch if you said you paid ~$2000 for it.

-tommasinis ride great
-tommasini never "sold out" and had frames manufactured outside their walls
-unique paint
-record deltas
-campagnolo aero pedals
-fully shrouded c-record rear derailleur
-perfect stem for build
-perfect rims for c-record build

gomango

Lot's of fans of the brand!

The above are all very important reasons to closely consider the bike.

I love mine, and will never part with her.

Thirdgenbird's price assessment is probably better than mine by the way.

thirdgenbird

there is a lot of emotion in my assessment but at the same time there are a lot of valuable parts on that bike and the whole thing looks clean.

piecing a bike together like this would take a fair amount of time. that alone is worth something.

miamijim

In general yes but it depends on the condition.

Sell the bike as is on ebay with a buy it now price and I am sure you can get 2200 dollars.
However, this is not the best period of year to sell bikes. You should wait until july in my opinion.

C-Record is the group that`s worth the most at the moment i think. Your pedals are worth up to 200 dollars.

jeffpepperdine

Thank again guys. I'm still on the fence as to whether I should spend the cash (as I should be saving to buy a house). I appreciate all the advice.

miamijim

Whats the asking price?

jeffpepperdine

$1500 obo.

gomango

Clearly, a value.

It's much nicer than my Tommasini Sintesi.

jeffpepperdine

I've decided I can't afford it. If anyones interested here is his link,

He's also got a full campy super record group in the original case posted there.

miamijim

At $1500 you certainly wouldnt loose money in the long term but $1500 is $1500. The SR group is a good buy at $650....not a great buy, but a good buy.
