About Us
At Cicli di Tomsoni we are passionate about bikes and racing. We only represent companies who not only share our passion but also deliver world leading products that offer something special.
We define that special something by choosing providers of top quality components, frames and wheels who offer more than you would normally expect. If you lust after a handbuilt carbon frame made by craftsmen in Italy, or want your own special paint finish to customise your dream bike, then our brands can provide this.
We all want the best from ourselves and our equipment, so having chosen your frame, make a selection from our range of hand built wheels, either with carbon or aluminium rims, clincher or tubular. Next, it’s just a question of choosing your groupset and finishing kit and your new custom built bike is ready to race.
Our brands are very carefully selected after extensive research to deliver that bit extra. All the manufacturers are involved at the highest level of the sport from Continental Pro road teams to top level cyclocross and triathlon squads. So contact us direct and we’ll be happy to answer any queries you may have.
We also arrange tours, training camps, and trips to events in the Belgian Ardenne and the Alps.

A:xus Bikes:
A:xus are an exclusive German Bike company specialising in the supply of custom coloured frames. They were founded in 2005 and are run by Oliver Gref, an ex-pro with a 13 year career racing at the top level in Europe. His knowledge and experience is evident in all aspects of the company and specifically in the design of the frames and wheels.
Their frames offer exceptional rigidity, comfort and compliance meaning they all ride and handle in the way you would expect for a top level frame. In addition to the carbon frames, they also have their own range of handbuilt carbon wheels in both clincher and tubular. All this is supplied at a very reasonable price!
A:xus is very heavily involved with the sport of cycling and supplies frames for a number of Continental Teams; Alriksson Go Green; BikeMoments A:xus; Merkur Druck: and winners of the German u23 road race championship, Team Bergstrasse (riding the Baiardo).
Thompson Bikes:
Thompson bikes are one of the oldest and most repsected bicycle manufactures in Belgium. They were founded by the De Smet family in 1921, having been named after a beautiful English actress of the time. The company is still owned and run by the same family.
Belgium is the heartland of European cycling and everyone is passionate about the sport. To survive in this market, a company must offer exceptional products at the right price and clearly Thompson Bikes have done this for a very long time! They offer a staggering range of not just the usual road and mountain bikes, but also city bikes, hybrid/sports bikes, traditional Dutch and Flemish bikes and now even have electrically assisted bikes powered by an incredible Bosch system.
As you would expect from a Belgian company, they are very involved with cycling and sponsor the pro Continenatl Teams of Top Sport Jong Flandereen and Team Thompson. They are also a sponsor of our own Cicli-di-Tomsoni.com/Thompson Bikes team. This long standing involvement with the sport has lead to the develpoment of some fantastic carbon frames, which are equally at home in a pro peloton or being used in a local sportive. The caron frames are available in your own choice of custom colours to get your bike just how you want it! They also handbuild the extensive range of TRC wheels in both carbon and aluminium, clincher and tubular.
