1987 Tommaso Alloy lugged frame
#1
I worked on this over the winter/early spring and just got in a good test ride on it. One forgets how light these things were (at least with tubs). 1987 (frame built in 1986) Tommaso TA 5000 Record Aluminum Sprint kit configuration with ALAN's lugged alloy frame design, anodized matte black tubing and "natural"anodized lugs (same bike as a Guerciotti GA 6100 Sprint). Not too fancy for the era considering the paint work in the 80s, but it looks much better than the TIG welded stuff later on. Tubes are screwed into the lugs with glue applied. Kitted with: Campagnolo Victory/Triomphe road group w/6 spd racing cluster, 53/42 rings; Ambrosio cockpit, 25mm tubs. Installed Welgo clipless over the original Campagnolo cage pedals and Profil aero saddle are the only non-OE parts aside from cables/housings, tires and tape

Thank you!

I managed to find an 88 Tommaso catalog, and 85 Guerciotti catalog showing the 2 bikes. Looks like color is the main difference (both bikes were only offered in one color. Both brands were distributed by Ten Speed Drive Imports (TDSI) which operated out of Florida and California.
