Just saw that Tommasini that sold. I didn't realise when I looked at the ad but I have dealt with him before. I was looking for some rims last year and he offered to bring them to London as he was driving over at Xmas to see some family in London, so I didn't have to pay delivery from the Netherlands. Also bought a derailleur of him the same day my gf bought me one as a surprise and he cancelled it for me and gave me a refund. He's a real nice guy. Still don't know though what was going on with that Tommasini though.

Honestly I think he didn't know or wasn't sure. If he was trying to deceive anybody, he wouldn't have included the picture of the bottom bracket. There's a good chance the buyer will be super happy with his purchase, it's unlikely that anybody on the street will ever doubt the bike's provenance as the only clue is only visible from the underside of the bb. That being said, I'm 99,9% sure that tommasini wouldn't have made a bottom bracket like that. If they had ordered it from chierci (which I don't believe) I don't think they would have cut their own logo in there in such a crude way.

I already posted it in anti porn where it belongs :) p.s. the same vendor offered a stunning columbus max somec for the same price as this abominatiom...
fake tommasini went for a whooping 700£ btw
