Tommasini Diamante

New to me. Not quite sure what year, early 90's for sure. Just a beautiful work of functional art.

Cool bike, love those Campy Deltas.

What a beauty! Interesting combination of components with the Campy Delta brakes. That seat is amazing.

Yes, I'll probably morph everything to C Record over time (as soon as I get a second job!)

you can't have my wheels

also note, you'll spend less money and get better shifting with the 1st or 2nd gen Chorus RD

C-record or Chorus friction shifters are Wonderful with this RD

I am digging the paint job looks like a winter camo scheme of sorts.

Lou, as far as dating your bike, this good article dates delta-brake first available in 1986 - http://bikeretrogrouch.blogspot.com/2014/03/campagnolo-delta-brakes.html
Here's the C-record gruppo from 1986
you probably already knew the delta brakes actually don't match the rest of the bike, but a neat touch

Synchro joined the line in 1989

My cassette hub was introduced in 1991

First Campy Ergo shifting brake levers (Record) were introduced in 1992

Man. The 15 year old in me is now again craving a C Record group hung on Italian steel - the object of many a daydream back in high school. I had the Shimano 600 stuff the gen before what’s on this bike above. Worked well, but no panache. I forgot how cool the C Record rear derailleur and cranks were - pure style.
