My New Tommasini CX Bike

That is one gorgeous bike!!!!! Nice to know that they make a cross bike.
I see that it has the Campagnolo V-brake with the integrated shifters. I always wondered if this worked together, now I know......

Thanks - actually several of our frame models are available in CX geometry - you just have to ask. - I'll let you know how it rides once I've had some time on it. Can't wait!!!

Sweet! Those wheels are bombproof. I had a set once and was quite surprised how tough they were for the price.

I've just gotta say, that is one pricey steel 'cross bike. Don't get me wrong, I drool over the beauty of the Tommasini frames, but I don't know if I could bring myself to take it out on a CX course.

I've seen ads in magazines that seemed to put tommasini's US headquarters in the valley somewhere, at a particular bike shop I think. Is that correct? If so, where? Cuz I'd like to go drool over some bikes some day.

Oh, I was thinking of torelli. They're in the valley apparently. I think they import from taiwan.

What tires were you running? I know I will need to get some knobbier ones for muddy conditions. These will work for drier trails and using the bike for commuting - but please send suggestions on tires if you have them.
