New addition to the herd, a Tommasini cyclocross. I've been sort of wanting another cyclocross bike since selling my Trek Crockett Di2 some time ago. This one popped up and after a lengthy 15 second consideration I messaged the seller and bought the bike. On a trail it feels just as suicidal as an old fully rigid XC-26er, just faster.
I'd say the bike is from the early '00's. It's been sitting on a trainer for a few years and overall condition is really nice. Sadly the paint is a bit faded on the non-drive side. I've only changed the tyres, stem, pedals etc. minor stuff and I'm quite happy with the bike as it is, in the future I'd like to replace the ahead adapter, stem and OS handlebars with a more period correct quill and 26 mm bars.
Also, it's really weird doing business at a distance, not shaking hands and so on, especially as the seller is wearing a mask. The learned habits on how to behave in these social situations are quite strong.
