Description
My personal ride - it’s got to go. Too many bicycles. Tommasini Super Prestige Columbus SPX 59cm Dura Ace 7700 STI 9 speed 2019 Felt TL wheels Vittoria 28c training / tube tires 20.88 lbs (pedals not included) Available option: 19.67 lbs with Dura Ace hubs/Mavic lightweight wheels / 23c Kenda Sport clincher tires (pedals not included) This bike is popular with friends / the local bike club and is for sale locally. LOCAL SALE WILL END AUCTION IMMEDIATELY. I became second owner in 1999. Super smooth and fast. Steel is REAL and Tommasini is the top end of steel bikes. Upgraded from Shimano 7 speed Ultegra 600 w down tube shifters to full 9 speed Dura Ace kit in 2004. Fully refreshed with TUNE UP, new cables and upgraded to tubeless wheels, saddle and bar tape in 2020. When I added the wider wheels and tires the bike transformed into a long distance beast. Super compliant but FAST. I’ve tried lots of wheel sets on this bike for fun and function. Spinergy SPOX, Tri-Spoke carbon, lightweight climbing wheels (still have those as an option. The current set-up is the bomb. Low pressure resilient tires (65-84 psi) makes this bike FLY in comfort. Over the years this bike has accumulated a few minor paint chips, from grandchildren tipping over, etc. eventually causing one large ding in top tube. Chrome needs to be buffed out. Never crashed. Easy, pampered life with 1000-1500 total miles since new. Looking for new home for recreational, training or racing enjoyment. New Cobb Max saddle, original Cinelli Stem and Bars. Dura Ace 7700 full kit. Absolutely the best high speed cruising and long distance bike I’ve ever owned, including titanium, carbon and aluminum. Absorbs road shock but still converts power to the road for speed efficiency. A little heavier than today’s flyweight bikes but it EASILY overcomes the couple extra pounds of weight with brilliant design and engineering. I’ve had some of my fastest rides on this Tommi. Handmade lugs, great paint with chrome seat stays, fork and drop outs. The beautiful factory splatter paint is not perfect. The chrome is not perfect, but it does not have any major issues or significant rust, etc. you have to search out the flaws during cleaning. I would rate it an 8.5 out of 10. My son and I have been riding this bike, comparing it to our other bikes and he said, “Dad, you should sell this bike to someone who really wants to ride it”. The 59cm seat tube and 57.5cm top tube measurement is classic Italian and will suit riders 6ft 0 to 6ft 3 in-with long legs. Stand over height is not for guys or girls with less than 33 inseam. So - here’s your chance to own the real deal: a Tommasini garage queen that has been properly maintained. Happy bidding! Yahoo
