Tommaso ??

I looked at a Tommaso of probably late 80's vintage. There was not amodel name or number but it had mostly 105 components except the cranks were Sugino and the rims were Mavic M*40 and a SR stem. It had lots of large paint chips and the killer was a dent in the left seat stay just below the seat attachment point. I just couldn't pull the trigger to take it home mostly because of the dent. I sure liked the $200 price tag and I will probably hate myself in the morning...It was a 7 speed gear cluster.

Depending on the size of the dent it may or may not be a problem. Pics may help us determine that.

If I had been buying the bike for me to ride I would have probably made the purchase. I was really looking at it as a flipper I did not want to be responsable for another individual's well being. I would have rode it with little concern of failure. I had to look the bike over with a flashlight.
