So to make room for the frames and bikes i want to re-commission and use i have looked at what i gots that might appeal and bring a decent $$
this is my only Italian bike as i like Trek and Raleigh, not saying i wont get another italian but anyway here's the story,

I got this locally its a 57-58 cm i believe, it did not have an Air fork.. but an Italian chrome fork, when researching on line i found an old advertisement someone had posted whereby the frame and fork were offered separately,
the ad showed the fork alone being $400. so it made sense to me when the previous owner said that's how it came, (he was not the original owner).

so i wonder to myself if i can find an Air Fork.. i searched ebay and wouldn't you know it there was one for sale 1 inch threadless, but it was very expensive as much as some frames, seller wouldn't take an offer, i waited till the auction expired then re-appeared so I went back and bought it for the buy it now, anyway so what i have is a Super Prestige in the red splatter paint with a one inch thread less Air Fork,, at some point in its life it received a fairly extensive Chorus campy set up except for the rear mech which is Campy mirage, so it has brifters great brakes, the hubs are what look like c-record or newer, well anyway it rides fantastic is what i consider fast light and nimble, i did not go with threadless campy headset due to budget but it all works very well.

i would welcome some idea of value as i will likely offer it on here, i would prefer not to do flea bay, but i would ship the bike ..
I have a few different seat and pedal options which can affect value, but these are also rider specific items so could add or subtract value so consider a mid grade saddle as part of the
package pedals are negotiable items ..
here are some pictures let me know your thoughts:-
Thanks Gary


this was as i got the bike, i have changed the pedals seat and front fork to threadless

top tube with the old stem

mirage works great

straight off the auction

the paint is what i consider very good a couple of chips that i have touched up


the Air fork went on no problem i elected not to cut the fork but add shims for adjust-ability of height.

This is my only Ferrari. I normally prefer Chevy Corsica's and Ford Tempo's (Sorry - im kidding - i love Italian bikes, but do realize Trak and Raleigh made a few good ones too)


Very desirable frame -- while im sure the components work together nicely, (one of my favorite bikes has a very nice mix like that too ) - there are a lot of gear snobs who would say that you need a cohesive build kit to maximize value . so with that and the subdued paint (for a Tommasini -- but at least its the proper shade of red) - I'd guesstimate thats a $700 rig

You kind of lost me on the fork situation though --- You removed the original threaded Tommasini fork and installed another Tommasini threadless fork at a later date ?

-- On the fork situation, it came with an Italian unbranded chrome fork of some quality, which may have been original who knows i still have it, it did not come with an Air Fork, and as that Air Fork was a big deal in TS history i thought well why not if i can find one... so that how it came about..
