Frame Description
The PREMIER PLUS is the lightest custom Tommasini frame available, it weights just a little more than 1kg. and is built with COLUMBUS CUSTOM BELL MULTISHAPED AIRPLANE tubing, designed by Irio Tommasini and exclusively produced for him by Columbus. The tubing’s "Bell Shape" has been created to resist all vertical and horizontal tension and does not overstress the tubes.
The head tube comes with an integrated a-head headset, called a "clepsydra" for its smooth and rounded design. The "bell shape" rear seat stays and chain stays have been developed to greatly improve the stiffness of the rear triangle and to give an aggressive look to the frame. These features make the PREMIER PLUS perfect for extreme racing performances.
The Tig welding is done with visible beads to reinforce the frame. The frame undergoes a special heat treatment to ensure the strength and longevity of the frame. The PREMIERE PLUS has STI bosses (with adjusting screws) brazed on the head tube, and an enameled metal head badge.
A 55 cm frame weighs approx. 1.150 kg (2.535 lbs).
