For Sale: My nagasawa

@ The Smiling Buddha - do you think it's worth a trip down to Italy to get a Tommasini? I mean, I wouldn't need much of an incentive to go there anyway, but I've been wondering lately how much a frameset would cost me if I went straight to the builders (in Grossetto), rather than via the dealer in the UK - any thoughts?

If you are resident in a country that has an official dealer Tommasini won't sell to you directly. I know because I tried. However you can certainly buy from the UK dealer and pick the frame up in Italy. Tommasini want to protect their brand and look after their dealerships you can't really blame them for that. I am still negotiating with them about paint and geometry the UK dealer is really helpful however I am not expecting this to come cheap! What sweetens the blow is that the UK dealer will allow me to pay in euros...:)
