The Tommasini factory is 1 km far from my house: very nice bikes, it's full of them here.
Had a couple of interesting talks with an owner last week, about the carbon craze and the return of steel bikes with a bit of a soul in them...
In Europe steel is returning, while in Italy there is scarce love for this material: last year I even found a Tecno frame in a garbage bin... not my size unfortunately, so i gave it to a friend of mine who got it repainted, and this is the result...
