Tommasini Super Prestige Classic Road Bike 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 the great Giuseppe Pelà?
His expertise and relentless quality-oriented craftsmanship found him fame and fans all around the globe, as did his beautifully executed frames.
Here is one of his legendary frames, a Tommasini Super Prestige from the 1980s. As on any Tommasini frame you will find engravings and pantographs aplenty. The tubes themselves are Columbus SLX, the famous steel tubes which were the choice for most professional riders back then.
The groupset is a Campagnolo Super Record which was a bit of a classic approach. When the frame was made, there were already newer groups available. But just like almost every other bike builder in Italy, Tommasini offered also a Super Record equipped model.
The paint of this bike has been refurbished in metallic grey, which gives the bike a very modest appearance, quite untypical for Tommasini bikes and a refreshing touch.
A steel bike for steel bike lovers.
