- Crankset: bike came with a Deore with 48 teeth ring. Decided against a 600 as it had the Biopace oval rings and I was told they could stress your knees. So I opted for a Campagnolo Athena which I found in great condition. I know it breaks the Shimano pattern but that's what p[eople were often doing at the time, mixing different parts as long as they worked and they looked nice.

A lot of Shimano 600 tri-color cranksets came with round rings. They offered both options from the factory:

It's a Pinarello Acciaio from late 60ies - 1970 according to the Columbus decal. Everything on it is Campagnolo Nuovo Record. It is a truly loveable bike and performs really well. A few pics:

It's one of the classic strade bianche, the white roads around Tuscany. They are generally flat but have harder more cobbled sections and occasionally some tougher downhill bits. Approximately 30% of all L'Eroica routes are white roads. I am OK handling them as I am primarily a mountain biker, but they can be tough and intimidating to go fast. Great fun though, and part of the Eroica tradition.

Bike now complete
Bike setup now complete. Final changes made:
- Wheels swapped to tubs, Mavic GP4 with Campagnolo Record hubs and Vittoria Rallye 23 tubs.
- Levers swapped to NOS 600 tricolor with white hoods (sourced separately)
- Pedals swapped to period-correct Campagnolo Record.
Now looking forward to dry weather to take her out!

Caliwild yes I think so.
I've already got an older Tommasini wool jersey and a yellow and blue cap, but having seen Tiger1 's bounty above I just went and checked out their site, and all that stuff and more is there. I just bought another cap, 2 water bottles and some Tommasini socks.
I wish they did gloves as I need a new set anyway, and that would have been a nice addition to the Tommasini kit..

The white T-shirt is also worth it, nice design and good quality.

I have another wool Thommasini jersey, but it’s from an Italian eBay seller who turns out a lot of different Jerseys that look original but are “inspired by” rather than being the real thing. Having said that, it fits, washes well and is a nice top.

I have one of those wool jerseys, it was a bit large when I bought it but I seem to have grown into it!

Nice. About the only thing I'd change, aside from pedals for compatibility, is to a TIG stem. I've broken enough Cinellis (1R and two XAs) and my 3T Status wiggled like overcooked spaghetti. For that reason I have a bunch of old Salsas and a Tioga Prestige on my current bikes. Their stiffness and toughness inspires confidence in a way that aluminum stems over the years have not.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this but Tommasini has been purchased by the Bike Holdings group. It is no longer small family owned company.

Almost completed, my as confirmed by Irio, 1974 Tommasini built for the team sponsored by the Ballini cycles shop in Livorno.
The frame is stencilled rather than using a transfer.
Inspired by the marks on the top tube showing that only two cable clips were used, I went for a weight-weenie build.

Yes, it could be a little shorter, I will probably need to change the cable outlers in any case, I love the colour but the diameter is a fraction too large.

L'eroica 2023
Hi everyone. A few pics from L'Eroica 2023 in Tuscany on my Tommasini Prestige. Completed the 135k course on Saturday 30 Sept, was much harder than the pics can show!
Comradery!
