eBay and Craigslist finds

In the meantime

" I would bet a considerable amount of money on it being a fake with a real tomm fork. "

Shall we say £55,000?

@haveo will make the call and I can do Western Union

what makes you say that. Front end looks fine to me, pretty much the same a smy Carlton from the same era. Having said that, I have missed these things before...

the headtube alignment with the upper end of the fork appears to go in ever so slightly. it could however be a case of me 'looking for it and seeing it' rather than it actually being there.

Now don't get me involved in this! I'm no Tommasini expert, I will say though that there are lots of things pointing towards it being real. Is it that crazy to have a chierici bb? I think mine has a Cinelli one, with no cutout though.

Either way it went for way more then I expected, I'm always surprised at how much people are asking to Tommasini frames on eBay

That would be too considdrable for me ;) But why should @haveo make the call? I wrote them an email so obvs it should be tommasini who makes the call. It's common knowledge that a lot of frame builders used cinelli BBs, but I have never seen a Cinelli cast BB with cutouts of another framebuilder in the middle of the cinelli font. Would be happy to see some though :) Also chierici is not exactly a well known and renowned frame builder and lug producer, or at least not half as famous as cinelli. I'd be happy to be proven wrong in that regard as well :) but I'll transfer you a not so considerable 10€ if you show me another tommasini with a chierici bb and a cut out in the middle of the font :)

Some pretty outrageous parts on this for the price... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Racing-Bike-/162155111953?hash=item25c132a611:g:P4MAAOSw-YVXnyc3

Well, I stand corrected... Good thing I didn't really bet that 'considerable amount of money' ;)

p.s. fastest reply of any italian manufacturer so far.
Olmo - No reply since months
Colnago - 2 weeks

Don't think link works anymore. It was the Super Prestige that was in here a couple pages back.

I think I've seen it.
I'm surprised this one hasn't sold. Do you think the damage on the chainstay is structural?

Look KG 196 prototype with a 650c front! Stunning machine, probably reeeeeeally expensive...

p.s. For those who wonder: it was ridden by Alex Zülle and the seller asks for 16k

What / how did that tom frame get damage like that.

It's been on there a while now. Wouldn't want to be the one to find out if it was.

I can't see damage?

This.

Sorry I thought we were talking about the Zulle Look. Carry on :)

It got bitten by an animal with very strong jaws...

Nice Looking track setup http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dave-Hinde-Pista-single-speed-Fixie-with-disc-/222228404491?

Small Look KG292 - 53cm Titanium:

Overpriced IMO as they usually go for £1k / 1.2k€

@Sig_Arlecchino

Is this a good deal? I'm very tempted as it's my size and location:

Cheers, K

You mean the Look KG 196 I posted? Not sure if overpriced is the right word since it's a prototype (with the 650c front wheel) which was ridden by a former time trial world champion. But 16k is really expensive, no doubt. But I doubt you'd get one (if there are any others) of these for less than 5k.

Or do you mean the KG292 since I posted one of these in the bike pron thred?

I meant the KG292 since you posted bike pron thread.

But the KG196 is also overpriced. A museum wouldn't pay as much - true value is sub 5k IMO
