Tommasini
I have an old Tommasini I am going to be parting with. Had back surgery and will be getting a hybrid.

Just sent you a PM (private message) - Sorry to hijack this, OP, but I have been posting every so often looking specifically for a Tommasini in this size for the last three years - Here's a link to my most recent thread - https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...-prestige.html

Size is likely a 56 though
I just measured my Tommasini. 22 inches from center of crank to center of top bar.

There's no mediocrity in those offerings. I'd have jumped at the Nishiki and regretted it, just a little though.

Selling frame vs complete bike
Having decided to part with my beloved Tommasini, it appears that I may have more success selling as a frame and fork as opposed to a complete bike. Shipping would also be less complicated as well. At least packaging would be simpler. I have a suspicion that the shimano 600 components do not add any value to this frame.

Just a thought but you might have more luck selling if you made a separate thread to sell your Tommasini...GLWTS
