Ahhh, Italian Boutique Frames - Tommasini Techno or Olmo Aries?
Recently began delving into those sweet Italian frames. Two of which stood out to me:
Tommasini Techno - Lists for $1799
https://www.tommasiniusa.com/frames
Olmo Aries - Lists for $1199
https://www.redroseimports.com/rri_carrera_aries_s.html
Good frames or just bling?
Opinions, reviews, of these two frames?

OLMO OLMO OLMO!!!!!! But I may be biast! 
Italian, is Italian, and you can't go wrong.... I bought my bike from red rose imports.... which is now ERA bike and ski shop.

Talk to Greg, he helped me with my custom build, and helped me keep it at my budget.
Here's more pics of my bike:

By the way....this:
is NOT an OLMO but a Carrera Aries..... OLMO is not a model name, but an actual manufacturer......So are the choices between OLMO and Tommansini? or Tommansini and Carrera?

I was looking at Tommasini, Carrera, and Olmo. Somehow I got them mixed up.
Thanks, for the link.

nice, nice, nice. As with many here (I assume) they remind me of all the bikes I drooled over in the '80s, such as Rossin, Concorde, Bottechia, De Bernardi.......
Are you checking them all out, or are you just interested in th Tomassini and the Carerra?
Here's more, but I'm not sure if some of these companies are too big in your view to be called "boutique".
