I love Eye-talian steel; 'specially with downtube shifters.....but that FORK, and Tri-color on a Tommassini, totally ruins it. (Not that tri-color isn't a good group...but it just seems wrong on a Tommassini!). In my opinion, that bike is a kin to a frankenbike. Probably worth more if you parted it out, than whole- 'cause the way it is, it's not going to appeal to Tommassini/vintage steel fans....and it's value just as a daily rider to the average schmoe is probably pretty low. The real value is in the frame- but without the original fork, even that is greatly diminished.
