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 at an important bicycle factory in Milan where he had the opportunity to gain valuable experience and learn the techniques that enabled him in 1957, to start his own business in his home town of Grosseto.

By the end of the 60's his factory had increased domestic sales in Italy, and had begun the exportation of Tommasini frames abroad.

Even at that early period, Tommasini's frames where appreciated for their fine finishes and their true racing geometries, by then, many amateurs and professional racers had been racing and winning on Tommasini's frames.

During this time, Tommasini worked under and received guidance from his friend and mentor Giuseppe Pelà, Italy's premiere frames builder. Pelà built magnificient winning frames for many top italian and european professionits, and upon his retirement in 1972 passed on his traditions and skills to Tommasini. Tommasini has carried on these traditions and has added a few innovations along the way.

Today, Irio and his employees produce betwen 2000 and 2500 frames per year with most of them being exported throughout the world.

100% of Tommasini¹s production is completely handmade and built inside the Tommasini factory in Grosseto via Nepal.

Tommasini's production stricly follows the evolution of materials and models, keeping care and attention to details through the years.
