I think I want to build it up as a "modern classic". Classic Italian frame with modern wheels and components.
I'm looking for Rival/Ultegra level of components. Not too pricey, not too cheap.
The only thing I have for it so far is a Specialized Toupe Gel saddle.
To me, the main color in this pic looks like orange, but supposedly it's a metallic red and in real life pics that I've seen the red seems to be a bit pink, not orange like in this pic. So I might have them paint it orange at the factory, it won't cost me any more. If anyone else has real life pics of the Tommasini Team paint job, feel free to post them.
ahhh OK - I think I realize who you are now... just replied to a thread you posted a few days ago... Campy is the way to go! Also - it is hard to tell color on screen, the red 93 is red, it is not pink at all but it does go red/orange in certain types of light. It is a very nice color - I'm sure there are guys out here in the forums who have a red 93 tecno - if not I will contact some of the guys I know who have them and have them give you some feedback if you want. Also, I'm still waiting on pics from the factory to show you some orange frames - orange is cool too but it looks very different than the red.
