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.
Tommasini¹s production stricly follows the evolution of materials and models, keeping care and attention to details through the years.
