Tommaso at Sunset

1985 Tommaso TLX

As an example of the bad habits engendered by this hobby, the Tommaso hung from my ceiling for more than a year before I got around to tweaking the fit. Now it's a delight.

Cool paint job. A Piet Mondrian type of look.

Thanks Frank.

BTW, does anyone know which of the Italian houses made these frames for Tommaso?

Nice composition! I think you're a bit off of horizontal though.

I had one of those (mine was blue) for nearly 20 years w/a Croce D'Aune group. Bilato were the main framebuilders for Ten Speed Drive Imports.

I believe that Bilato also built the early Lemond frames. Who built the Eddy frames of that 1985ish period?
