It's like two different bikes, with the different wheels.
I like both of them very very much.
Awesome build. Tommasini's are almost better than Master's

Didn't like it with the Boras. Then I saw the Shamals and it looped back around to awesome. Love it.

Looks awesome with the Shamals!!! Spectacular!

Awesome, stunning looking bike! I do like it better with the boras. With the Shamals it's to much gold for my taste. I think the gold bar tape works very nice with this build but I think black would look good as well. Seeing that much seat post I'm a little surprised by the short stem!
Enjoy this beauty

Unlike others, I like the bike with Boras but the Shamal are too much

Flavor Flav would rock that with the Shamals.

With the Boras, the bike looks great.

Their logo reminds me of a pair of Y Fronts.......

I think these wheels look so much better. Throw on some black bar tape and it would be SMOKIN in my book! Gold looks cool, but there is A LOT of gold on that. The black wheels and other pieces break up the color.

Fantastic bike!

thank you everyone for the comments. I am flattered by the kind words and thank you for the suggestion with regards to the black bartape. I contemplated using black bartape but chose gold in the end as it breaks up the col between the stem and the handlebar. I wanted the black in between the gold or gold in between the black (whichever way you prefer )

The shamal was something I always wanted and when it came out for sale the day I collected the bike....I knew it was fated to be mine(how convenient and what an excuse for me to buy!!!) and I had to get it. Otherwise the bora will always be the choice of wheel for this build.

I had so much fun finding parts for this bike. Not an easy col to match as gold only seems to go well with black.

*gave it a short ride today - definitely in a league of its own. Steel just feels that little bit different. My cinelli supercorsa always put a smile on my face. This tommasini did the same thing to me as well....only difference is that I was literally glowing in the sun I have other bikes to do all the painful rides but my steel bikes are reserved for days when I just want to do what I love. Cycle with a toothy grin.
