Tommasini Fork Question
Anyone ever seen this kind of flat crown fork on a Tommasini Super Prestige? Wondering about the dating and authenticity of this. Thanks for any info.

Bikes: too many sparkly Italians, some sweet Americans and a couple interesting Japanese
I am sure that is authentic as that stylized T is famous and I am sure I have seen it on a Tommasinis but not on a flat topped crown but on an internally lugged sloping crown as shown below. I have seen that T on a flat topped crowns but they had a sort of a crown fashioned around the T and I believe were late '70s. I know in the 80s I have seen other Ts that were more like script Ts, not block letter Ts.
You might try dating the Campagnolo components or hope T-Mar checks in.
