'In 1948,' Irio Tommasini continues in his story, 'my uncles opened a bicycle shop and I, overjoyed, after school started with them what for me is the most beautiful job in the world. In 1956 I spent some time in Milan, at Fuchs, where I met Faliero Masi, mechanic for the Nivea Fuchs team (Captain Fiorenzo Magni) and a well-known racing bike builder. Perhaps it was because we were both from Tuscany, but a good relationship was established between us and his suggestions were of great help to me in the future'.
'At the end of the 1960s,' he reveals, 'I finally managed to meet what I knew to be the builder of the frames of almost all the most important racers of the time, Giuseppe Pelà. He lived in Turin but, as he himself was keen to point out, he was born just outside Grosseto and after a while it felt like we had known each other forever, like relatives. Many times I went to his workshop and there I learnt his construction techniques and in 1972 I took over his company'.
