Casati

Owner Ned sends this photo of his Casati "Settantenario" (70th anniversary) MAX bike, serial number 25.

Although the bike is labled is MAX the only typical MAX tube is the seattube; the top tube is round, and the down tube is round at the headtube. Neither the chainstays or fork (also labeled MAX) look like MAX. Perhaps this is a mix of tubesets, or Casati did some in-house tube manipulation? Any information welcome.

Tommasini

Tommasini "Velocista". Click on photos to enlarge.

"Irio Tommasini has spent most of his life around bicycles. In 1948, while still racing as an amateur, he started working on bicycles. His building career started in Milan and in 1957 he started his own business in his home town of Grosseto. By the end of the 60's the Tommasini frames were well respected throughout Italy and were being exported for sale abroad. By that time Tommasini frames were already well appreciated for their fine finishes and true racing geometries. Amateur and professional racers had already been racing and winning on Tommasini's frames. Today, Irio and his employees produce between 2000 and 2500 frames per year with most of them being exported throughout the world."
