  • Why are you so sure it's a fake?

    Using other manufacturers' BBs is hardly uncommon, and in this case he mentions that the tubes aren't rounded, which might explain using a different one.

  • Because of the way they cut the T-logo in there right in the middle of the chierici font. It just looks wrong considering that all Tommasini's I have seen so far are true works of art with a lot of attention to detail. You're right, I don't have any hard proof for my subjective feeling of it being a fake abd I'm not an expert so the 99,9% statement is actually bullshit. Having said that, I would bet a considerable amount of money on it being a fake with a real tomm fork. All it takes is a dremel and some pantographing skills basically.

    p.s. the tubes look round where they meet the lugs. + tomm used ms/max/el os tubes so they had a considerable amount of expertise in that field. + Most tomms had tommasini engraved dropouts afaik.
    but again, it all comes down to a subjective feeling :)
