Bradley and CR'ers:
I painted a lot of these frames in the 90's for Ten Speed Drive. I still have the color schemes that Eric (Parker?) sent me from Florida, as well as lots of decals.
The Tommaso's all had six digit serial numbers and were built by Billato in Italy. The size was stamped along with the tubing type on the other side of the b.b. For example, a 59cm with TSX tubing would be stamped 59TX.
