Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Now you're saying those frames, which Gorillavelo has offered to post the paperwork for, showing them to be purchased from Tommasini, are FAKES, and were not purchased from you.

Looks like a retraction to me.

Just sayin'

I have all the pictures of all the frames I sold. Over the next few days I am going to upload them on internet, that saves you the hassle. Everyone can then pick the frame he bought or he would have liked to buy and send it Tommasini, they will confirm the authenticity. The link to this picture collection will be posted in this thread.

In Switzerland we have Police on bicycles - ugly ones though, look like Kettler from the early 90's.

How about this - we can go on and on - or end it here. I am for ending it here because I have a ton of work to do. I have tried to clarify many questions but that does not seem to be helping the situation. Instead of posting speculation after speculation, simply go to the source. The manufacturer can answer any questions you have and then you don't have to wonder who is being dishonest. After all I think we would be able to tell if we built a frame or not.
