Rebuild has started on my Tommasini

[Daddy-Cool]

Well after what seems for ever i have finally got all the the bits to put my Tommasini back on the road.
I am just waiting for a Tommasini sk2 saddle to come from Italy and a pair of Record deltas from the states.Then all being well i will be riding it (weather permiting) next sunday.

Her are a few pics for you,

The bike will be built with a mix of 8 speed record.chorus and athena.In the long term the chorus and athena will be replaced with record as and when i can find suitable parts.

Bet that looks stunning in the sunshine my Tommasini will be coming out of hibernation soon

Same as yours but in red and built up with a mix of Record and Chorus it gets laid up over winter but is my main road bike through the summer

Only trouble is they always draw crowds whenever you stop

That is going to be absolutely drop-dead gorgeous! I like the fade/herring-bone type finishes. They typify the era exactly.

I would really like an early 80's Italian frame - and the spare cash to properly equip it!

Looking forward to seeing it finished.

It's worth having a word with your local tool stockest I got a 3.5mm allen key for 0.80p there's nothing special about them - as some adverts on ebay would have you believe....
