My Tecno

Here's a shot of my Tecno. It's a bit of an oddball. The lugs sport the Tommasini T on both sides of of the lug. Not only on the top of the lug. Tommasini told me that it was "particular" and only was produced for a couple years in the mid 90s (95 and 96?). Anyway, my wife bought it new in Milan in 2000 as a wedding present. So it had been sitting in this shop for a while.

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.



Most excellent! Any particular reason you have the rear wheel slammed all the way back in the dropout?

the horses across the top tube are neat, I think. Monkitoucher's (above) has them, too.

^ ^ ^

wheels were built by the Tommasini NA distributor/dealer from whom I bought the bike. Thanks for the kind word!

Honest answer, I was waiting on the campag adjuster screws and then though, “why not try without”.

Recently picked up this frame from forum member Brewsmith . I'll be building it up next month and will post photos once it's done. Looking forward to it.

Apologies, I only now saw this. The fit is a bit more generous than others, and definitely on the long side. I normally wear a 3 medium, I changed down to a 2 small for this and it fits me better. Pics were with my old medium.
