637.2Wheelworks in BelmontDISSRV::WESTERTue Apr 26 1988 16:4212
    In the Boston area I've only seen them at Wheelworks in Belmont
    on Trapelo road.
    
    Just a note of interest.  Last year a friend was looking at Tommasino
    and someone told him that they are really Guerciotti's imported
    by Ten Speed Drive imports and repainted in the U.S.  Apparantly
    if you combine the first and last name of the owner of Ten Speed
    Drive you come up with Tomassino.  This all sounds weird to me but
    you never know.  Has anyone else heard that rumor?

637.3do you mean Tomasso?GENRAL::P_DUNNWed Apr 27 1988 18:315
    If you're reffering to Tomasso, their aluminum framesets are made
    by the ALAN; as are GUERCIOTTI aluminum framesets.

637.4Not Tomasso...NAC::CAMPBELLWed Apr 27 1988 20:3510
    
    re: .3   No, not Tomasso.  I've seen them around, but I'm thinking
    of buying a Tommassino from Colorado cyclist.  Also, I called the
    Wheelworks in Belmont and they don't carry them.....  Any other
    ideas???
    
    re: .1   Sorry about that.....  I know where I am so I just assumed
    everyone else did....  Boston area....

637.520 years ago in SogrettoKERNEL::WETHERALLThu Apr 28 1988 08:3511
    
     Tommassini's have been around for about 20 years. They are
    made in a factory in Sogretto, Italy, which is about 120 miles
    north of Rome. A shop here in Britain was carrying them last 
    year and they had 3 models: one made from Columbus SLx tubing,
    one from SL and another from Columbus matrix tubing which fits in
    in quality and price between the SL and the old Aelle tube sets.
