Hi,

I have a Tommasini Tecno road bike frame, made from Columbus EL oversize tubing which was described by the previous owner as having been stored for many years and which he inherited. Its never been built up and is near perfect condition . Can you please help me date the frame and recommend what campag groupo would have been of the same period so that I can complete it. The colour scheme is a midnight blue with pink sprayed highlights, including the top third of the forks (also Columbus EL). The bottom two thirds of the forks are chromed as are the majority of the rear stays. A Campagnolo Brev headset has been fitted. The front “T badge” is metal and enamelled.

Thanks,

Mike

no one's answering because we are upset that we don't inherit anything like this. That would have had a late model (90's) C-Record grouppo to be ultimately cool...

I'm guessing the Tommasini Tecno did'nt show up until the late 90's. I use to have early 90's and mid 90's scanned catalogs of Tommasini and dont remember Tecno being in the line-up.

Contact Tina at RideTommasini. She has a direct line to the factory in Grosseto, Italy and has been very helpful in identifying my '91 Tommasini.

mmmm, Record C then, if late 90's. Best deal out there in campy land. 8-speed is a particularly good deal...

Thanks for the messages, I will use the contacts for further info.
Came across this Tommasini on Ebay today (not listed , but described in another listing and he has sent me attached pic of a time trial frame?)

Contacted Tina at Tommasini: its a 1995 Frame. Thanks for the contact details!

..and this is how it was completed. Decided not to go the classic route as proved very difficult to get good quality used parts. I also wanted a bike as light as I could spec it that used the best of carbon and titanium to match the best of steel...a bike to be ridden.

All new/NOS except the wheels which were used.
