Don't mince words
Karenjack241: That's a very aggressive-looking bike. Do you race on it?

It looks like your bike is pretty similar to the Defy 1 now. Why didn't you just go with the Defy 1 right away?

Just picked this up. I plan to build it up with Campy stuff slowly, right now it's a mix of all kinds of stuff.
1999 Tommasini Velocista (Steel)
Shimano 600 shifters/levers
Campy Record front derailer
Ultegra rear derailer
Campy headset
Campy rear wheel with shimano hub and 8 speed cassette
Mavic cosmos front wheel with Mavic hub
Shimano 600 cranks
It'll be a slow build, but this frame is my dream frame. - Here's my cellphone pics.....

Just picked this bike up, I want to make it look better (just love the bar tape!!)
What do you think I should do to it?
I was thinking white saddle and bar tape, new hoods, pedals...what do you think?

This:
Frame bought in 1994. It's Columbus Genius Nivacrom, TIG welded. Dura Ace 9-spd components. LOOK PP196 pedals.

This Exact Paint-job and frame-style was my Road Bike in my middle school years (early 90's.) I had a spedo-meter on it, and a manual pump that straddled the frame.
Thanks for posting the Benotto.

^ If it is in your size I dont see why a brother wouldnt allow you to ride it (unless you dont know how to ride clipless or he is actually wanting to ride it)

Latest incarnation of my 89 Trek 660.
52x15 gear ratio strains my massive guads. Requires 400W just to clear the driveway.

Got this as is for a couple hundred on cl, I thought it was a pretty good deal for campus and fun rides
Need a better pic from the other side, and some nice seat adjusting..
(Had surgery on both my feet so I can't do anything about either one of those things for a while yet
