Of course my New (vintage) pink stallion! I went on a 14 mile ride after work on my "Rosita" today! I fell in love with the spectacular ride. One word "Italian"!
My favorite pic so far!

Although, another way to think of it is you'll always have a decent bike to ride in the Twin Cities w/o having to drag one along when you visit.

Ze, thank you, and I know that you will have one very soon! I seriously began to desire and dream about one a few months ago, and mine became available in my own back yard! Never under estimate the law of attraction!

Yours is on a special level like the other beauties posted by TGB and Andy.
Saw one just like yours though in Verona two summers ago.
Might even have a pic somewhere here. I'll take a look after the kids go to bed.
That pink in person is amazing!

You are knocking me out with an EL-OS Tommasini Tecno.
Gorgeous.
Very well though out build, no doubt.
What tires are those if I may ask?

Hi , Nice top but unfortunately too small for me (and not the easiest of prices to swallow!)
Ref the Tommasini Tecno- the skewers are correct, they are just very curved.
The tyres are Stelvios-but since I took the pics I've changed over to Fortezza Tricomps which are also very good (the stelvios passing over to a Bioracer Stephen Roche EL OS framed bike I also own). For me, Irio Tommasini is the best steel frame maker.Interesting that thirdgenbird and myself took similar approaches-hope you enjoy riding yours as much as I do mine!

I really wish that I could join this party - I'm enjoying watching from the door.
BTW - Mutleyone OWNS this lounge.

MAX is fantastic, but doesn't necessarily trump EL-OS for me.
It certainly does trump my humble SLX Sintesi though.
Mine makes a heck of a loaner bike though, and may be one of the nicer rain bikes around.
