Hey David: FWIW, I just discovered your message about Nagasaga.. And yes, I dorked out and forgot to ask Dave at Euro-asia. Want me to pursue it still?

Re: Tommasini.. Interesting turn of events. He had Wm Lewis all those years and then dropped him in favor of Colorado Cyclist (or was it Excel?) In any case, the guy at Gran Fondo in Nashville tried, feebly, to be the USA distributor for Tommasini but hadn't the savvy or money. Plus, I am not sure how well any euro brands are doing anyway. Now they are "going direct" but will let dealers sell them too but "the price may be higher" Joy joy, they get to sell dealer & retailer at nearly the same price, why would a dealer bother?

Any idea of when this might date to?

It's made of Columbus MS, when was that introduced?
