Tommasini Strada C-Record Fine Road Bicycle 1980s

While many bicycle builders have been offering different quality ranges to meet the expectations of a wider circle of customers, Irio Tommasini did nothing alike.
The artisan frame manufacture in Grosseto, Tuscany knows nothing but one category of frames - top class. And what else would you expect from someone who worked together with Faliero Masi and the great Giuseppe Pelà?
His expertise and relentless quality-oriented craftsmanship found Irio Tommasini fame and fans all around the globe, as did his beautifully executed frames.

Here is one of his fine bikes. As on any Tommasini bike you will find engravings and cutout lugs aplenty.
From the fork crown you can tell how much of an influence Giuseppe Pelà was, the remnant workshop of whom Tommasini had taken over in 1972.

The tubes themselves are Columbus SL, the famous steel tubes which were the choice for most professional riders for two decades.

When we take a look at the way this already special bike is equipped, it's just stunning. Campagnolo C-Record gruppo is complemented by Croce d'Aune parts with Delta brakes or lightweight Mavic rims. The absolute highlight are the hubs though - the iconic Campagnolo C-Record "Sheriff star" hubs are one of the rarest and most expensive you can get. They are running smoothly and look just amazing.
A very special bike made by legendary framebuilder equipped with mouthwatering parts
