As usual, T-Mar has the answer.
"Tommaso was the house brand of Ten Speed Drive, a Florida base bicycle importer and distributor. The brand was established in 1984 to market cycling accessories and apparel, with frames and bicycles being added for the 1985 model year. The name
is Italian for Thomas and is derived from the owner's name, Tom Eason. The frames were sourced in Italy, primarily from Billato. The frames were imported unfinished and were painted and prepped in the USA. They were sold as both bare frames and complete bicycles. They didn't have traditional model names but were named after the tubeset and component group."
