Tommasini Revolutionizes Cycling Industry with the First 100% Custom Handmade Carbon Bike Frame

Italian bike frame manufacturer Tommasini now offers completely custom handmade carbon fiber bike frame

SAN DIEGO, CA – Tommasini has become the first bike frame manufacturer to offer a 100% handmade custom Italian carbon fiber bike frame. Beginning this season, the Velocista frame will be the first custom Italian carbon fiber frame with all production performed inside the Tommasini factory. The new carbon top tube, down tube, wishbone seat-stays and the monobox chain-stays have been designed with innovative custom shapes exclusively by and for Tommasini. This new design will improve and substitute the carbon rear triangle on all the frames having carbon rear stays.

“We have always been known for our handmade steel frames but our commitment to creating innovative products goes beyond just working with steel. We introduced modern materials into our production several years ago that included carbon and titanium but it was also important that we stick with our family tradition of creating unique and custom handmade frames. Now with our own carbon tubing that is unlike any other frame manufacturer we can take the legacy of our frame building one step further. The Velocista was great before but now it’s even better because it’s a Tommasini original.” said Barbara Tommasini, owner of Tommasini.

Tommasini produces several cycling frames made from steel, aluminum, carbon and titanium. All are 100% handmade in Italy and production is limited.
