My pink Tommasini Prestige
Hi friends, I obtained this Tommasini a few days ago. The pink has begun to grow on me. :-) I believe it is all Super Record or close to it. It has Campy everything except the 3ttt stem and bars. If anyone knows about these bikes, I would sincerely appreciate an approximate year. Thanks again for all of your time, feedback, and comments. I appreciate them.

Nice bike. I usually dont go for pink bikes, but i would go for that one if my size. That looks like a 58cm? Columbus tubing?

I would give my left nut for that frame. Or at least a ton of bike parts.

Beautiful - I am partial to pink, too! And the patina is just right - not too bad, but not pristine; it shows it's been used but not abused.
I'd peg it around 1985-87 going by Bicycling magazine advertisements and such. Components are mostly SR although the brake levers are NR - pantographed Ciocc, BTW. You might sell those on Ebay and get a set of pierced SR levers
Gotta love those track pedals, too.
Nice score - especially if it fits you!

That is a gorgeous find, and ditto to DD's comments above. It has the perfect amount of "use" in the finish. Congrats.

No, I think it's your phone. It looks like plain old cross-three to me.

They look pretty nice in blue, also, but that pink is an eye catcher, for sure. My guess is that you love the ride quality. I certainly do...

Great bike with a wonderful Gruppo and in the condition I like. I'd pitch the bottle cage though and get an Elite Cussi (older style with the plastic retainer or the round rubber, gold painted retainers) or even a REG or Cobra or a French TA. I'm sorry - I'm too picky!!!! It is a bike I would love to have in my collection - I love it.

This is an old thread, but how about this for a pink Tommasini?

Level that saddle, rotate the levers down to level, then add some brakes that work and that will be a great bike!
...I kid I kid, kinda.
That frame paint is super cool and I would love for something similar to hang on a hook in my garage.
