For Sale: Tommasini Lo-Pro track bike size 58

sold

OK this is something special... I'm selling this on behalf of a friend who recently got married and wants to clear out his bike collection... I don't think there's more than 10 of this particular kind of frameset about; a 1980 Tommasini Track Pursuit bike used by the Bulgarian track team at the 1980 Olympics (the frameset).

mavic bullhorns
cinelli stem
campagnolo record pista(?) headset
saddle Concor Prestige
seatpost campagnolo record
cranks campagnolo pista c-record (mint)
pedals campagnolo pista c-record
hubs campagnolo pista c-record sheriffstars 36h (mint)
rims mavic ma40 (front 650c, both mint, clinchers)
bb campagnolo record
chain kmc devil

seat tube 58cm c-t
top tube 56cm c-c

The paint job is original, including Tommasini autograph which doesn't feel like a decal but rather 'pen-painted' on, damaged/scratched in many places, the top tube has a very small ding (hardly visible but tangible) on one side. Front fork's chrome is in very good condition.
BB and headset are smooth. Wheels laced tightly and straight, hubs spin well buttery. An icon of 1980s track racing.

This unique bike is yours for 1100 Euros, including delivery (but excluding paypal cost) to the UK. If you live in another country, please ask for a shipping quote.

Lovely. Straight to porn thread

from wikipedia:

"In the 4,000 metre team pursuit qualifying heats, new world indoor records were set 8 times"

this is one fast bike ;-)

Hmmm pay the school fees or buy this.... decisions :(

Beauty of a bike.

So nice. One day I'll had a tommasini.

wish it showed better in the pics, but there's not a round tube on this thing

Gorgeous bike. Good price, too.

But I don't think that it's from the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
I guess that all teams were on regular track bikes then. Just Lothar Thoms of DDR did the 1 km on a lo pro.
Probably this Tommasini was for the 84 or 88 Olympics in LA or Seoul.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Bike is a beauty.

pretty damn cool bike! excuse me but i wont sell my kidneys. lol

Thanks for the extra info DC! very cool that video

Body parts is not a currency option in paypal I believe

potential buyer pulled out, so this is still available

sorry if i'm being daft but what tubing is this? it's sexy as hell the way the butting is so visible!

hhsb potential ;-)

from what I have been able to gather it is Tommasini Columbus Air tubing

Following questions as to effective top tube length I measured from center of seat tube (at the top) to center of stem in a horizontal line, that is 53cm

Very nice indeed, i have absolutely no need or space for this but would like it for wall art.

sweet jesus
