Tommaso Titanium Frames and S+S Couples Mitch-Your best bet is to contact http://www.bilenky.com/Retrofits.html as they do this kind of work in steel and Ti. The coupler set up is a great idea and very strong.

Tiempo frame size compared to sizing guide Gary-I am 5'10 with a 31 inseam and find the 56cm to be right on the money. I would not go any larger. As you can see from the reviews this is a great bike and I know you will enjoy it!

front derailleur GD-This sounds like a quick adjustment to cable tension for the front derailleur. When a bike is new the housing will "seat" during the first couple rides and a tension adjustment will need to be made. Your best bet is to take it by the local shop for a quick/easy adjustment. That is the best bet. Enjoy the Monza!

sizing Josh-I have spent almost three years on this frame. I would go with the 58cm bike. The Aggraziato is a great bike and I think you will be really pleased with the ride qualities. The Silver and 12K Carbon look great together and as you can see above the price can't be beat.
Enjoy it!

Look Keo 2 Max Road Bike Pedals vs. Look Keo Easy Road Bike Pedals This pedal provides as stainless steel deck on the body and the body overall is a little wider. This pedal has spring tension unlike the look easy pedal. The axle has a larger diameter for stiffness and the body is made from a polyamide composite. A nicer pedal with added features and longer life cycle. Thus the higher price.

Look Keo Grip Road Bike Cleats Look cleats are only compatible with Look pedals. You can't use these with other systems. They are available alone if you have an extra pair of shoes. I hope this answers the two ways your question could be read. I just want to make sure you have all the info possible.

Look Keo Easy Road Bike Pedals Just a simple pedal with light spring tension to keep the pedal affordable. It is a strong performer and easy on the pocket book. I have used Look pedals for over a decade and love them. I also use Shimano pedals as they have a slightly bigger platform. As a sprinter I like to lock my feet down and rip. For most people a lighter setting is better on entry/exit as you don't feel the "locked-in" panic at an emergency stop. Great pedal-can't go wrong.

Any real life experience? I started using this last week as my commuter light. At this time I am only on the headlight as I have another tail light. In riding home at 10pm I found the light to be OK for seeing the road considering its small size. I could see holes and sewer drains without a problem. What I didn't realize was there is an even brighter setting that I wasn't using. As for cars seeing you that is not an issues as this light is really bright. I went with the USB charger and it works really well. The USB action of plugging in feels really tight so be careful not to force. The light blinks when it charges and then gives a long flash when it is charged. So far, so good for me and I am really pleased.

Velocita Sram Vs. Velocita Dura Ace As the Product Manager for Tommaso I get to ride a lot of different bikes and components. I am currently spending the majority of my time on SRAM Force. I had been on Shimano Dura-Ace prior to getting a Tommaso Volo for myself.
Shimano shifter works great and have a very light touch feel. The SRAM shifters have a very positive chunk/click for every shift. I like the positive feel of a shift and it comes in really handy when I race cyclocross. When the bike is bouncing and I am cross-eyed in the red zone I can hear/feel what is going on with the shifting. As for the better FD shifting experience this comes from the Shimano super-stiff chainrings on the Ultegra and Dura-Ace cranks along with the new FD and Shifters. It is a great combination although a very expensive combination. I am running Force shifter and FD with a Gossamer crank and have no issues at all.
You won't go wrong with either set up. So far SRAM has been doing a great job at being cheaper and lighter than Shimano.
One last comment-This bike descends and corners like crazy. I love the Velocita. I was racing on it last year.

upgrade some components? It would be better to go with the Aggraziato. The chain, cassette and even crank chainring spacing is set for 9-speed compliance. To move to the ten speed shifters you would have to buy shifters, chain, cassette, front derailleur and upgrade the crank. At this point I would go for the Aggraziato and save some money.
Posted 05.03.10
difference between the "Aggraziato" and "Aggraziato Pro" Tommaso bikes The "Pro" has the Shimano Ultegra 6700 components versus the 6600 components. The major difference is in the redesigned shifters. The 6700 has hidden cables where the 6600 has the exposed cable/housing. The Pro version also has the new design rear and front derailleurs. Both work great it's just a matter of price and preference.

What size is best for Me? A big that is too large for you will be uncomfortable to ride and you won't get the enjoyment out of the bike you deserve. The longer the bike the higher the chance you will be leaning forward to compensate for the reach and add pressure to your hands and your..um..."saddle" area. Both are uncomfortable and can be avoided by a better fitting (balanced) frame size. We are going to have more frames arriving this late Spring/Summer.

Specs? The frame is 100% cro-mo with cro-mo 1-1/8" fork for 700c wheels. The dropouts are 120mm rear and 100mm front for track hubs. Of course one could run a regular road wheel up front with quick release too. The seat tube accepts a 27.2 post and the BB is English thread and 68mm wide. BB spindle length is determined by crank choice. I would keep it as narrow as possible to make for the best chainline. The fork will arrive un-cut and it will need an external headset for install and the star nut driven into the steer tube. A 31.8 seat collar is included with the frame. Building a frame up from scratch is a lot of fun. Get creative and enjoy the build.

Tommaso Sixth Sense Goes Hyperspeed at Syracuse 70.3!
Tommaso triathlete James Hadley burned up the Syracuse 70.3 bike course (56 miles) with an average speed of 24.5 miles per hour! That not a max speed...that's the average speed. What a monster. He went on to finish 4th in the Pro Male division. We are very proud of James and the Tommaso Sixth Sense.
When Tommaso decided to produce tri bikes they didn't just add aero bars to a road bike and call it a day. No, they sent the Product Manager to race a couple 70.3's and Ironman Louisville before the bike was released. It had to be Ironman tested and Ironman approved-it passed the test.
The Tommaso Sixth Sense and Tommaso Aereo share the same amazing superlight carbon frame and fork with different Shimano components and wheels. The goal at Tommaso is to get as many people on a freaking fast tri bike and hunt down the overpriced competition. There's no better feeling than riding the wheel off a competitor that spent $3,000 more on their bike that you.

Giving the Devil (Diavolo) its Due
The Tommaso Diavolo was probably the most fun I have ever had working on a bike for Tommaso. Not only did the staff at Tommaso spec this bike out to be sexy and perform well - I got to race it all last year. That's my idea of working on the weekends! The frame is full monocoque carbon and light at 1050 grams. The fork is full carbon as well with cantilever mounts. The combination is stiff and fast off the line. Starts in a cross race are everything and this bike bolts from the gun. The handling is amazing and with sand, dirt, grass, mud and pavement to contend with you need a bike that handles well. I raced in some nasty conditions and the mud clearance was spot on. The Rival components are the most sought after in the cross scene. The wheels are strong and dressed up with Hutchinson Bulldog cross tires. I raced these all last year and they were perfect for dry or wet. the Kore Kantilever brakes were easy to set up and have barrel adjusters for quick adjustments if you need to change a wheel. Rounding out the rest of the spec is our Tommaso TRS handlebar (short drop fro cross), stem and seat post (with double bolt for secure remounts). For the money I can honestly say you will not find a bike that beats this bike. Heck, put the carbon Tommaso Diavolo up against machines that cost $1,000 more and we'll take all comers! Get this bike.

Living in these!
I'm living in these knickers. Not only are the great for riding (hey, no chain lube on my jeans!) but they will be the "go-to" travel pants for those long flights to Europe and Asia. They have a little stretch to the fabric that comes in handy for a lot of movement (you know, like cycling). Do yourself a favor and get these! KILLER!

Tommaso PM Rocks the Volo
As the Product Manager for Tommaso I get to ride a lot of bikes. I've been putting a ton of miles on the Tommaso Volo. I was drawn to the SRAM Force components and I am a fan (especially at 12% grades) of the compact crank. The frame just drill it when I step on the gas and going down the other side of the mountain is like a fast roller coaster. The bike is light and snappy with no signs of being a noodle. The 12K weave is a killer look that people in the pack comment on all the time. For what Giantnerd sells this bike for you can get two! One for the sunny days and one to be used as the infamous "rain bike" we all swear to our spouses we need. Great bike at a price that will leave you with plenty of change for matching helmet and shoes. Hey, riding good is all about looking good!

Ironman Approved
I was lucky enough to develop this bike while I was training for Ironman. The goal was to make the perfect bike to carry an athlete through the bike leg of the most grueling event and be fresh and ready to run...a marathon! The Sixth Sense made the 112 miles (and hundreds of miles in training) very enjoyable. The bike is quick but stable. Athletes need a bike to be stable so they can eat of the go and change out bottles and eat gels. As an ex-road racer I wanted a bike that could corner like a crit machine too...I got it with this bike. There's a lot of time to be made in the corners and scrubbing speed by braking heading into a corner will lose a lot of time over a long course. I ripped this bike short course and long course and always wanted to bike portion to be longer. This bike is a dream to ride and catching people and leaving them behind was a real boost to the spirit. The name, "Sixth Sense" comes from the movie and stuck after I joked in a post-race video that when I am on this bike and look up the road "I see dead people."
With the price Giantnerd is offering this bike at I would imagine they will disappear faster than free Gatorade at the finish line of an Ironman.

MTB or Road Shorts
JH-I go with "road" style bibs on all my rides. Bibs help keep the shorts in place and the tighter fit doesn't get snagged my my seat when getting aggressive and moving around. There are times when I think I would want a baggy style short but that is more for casual rides and running to the store. But when it comes to training I like my bibs and a good jersey. I need those rear pockets for carrying all the food I eat on a 4-5 hour ride.

Cyclo Cross Bikes
Tommaso has 2-cross bikes. The Tommaso Bestia is an aluminum bike and great for cross/adventure/commuting. The Tommaso Diavolo is a full on carbon race machine that I raced on all last year and really enjoyed. It accelerated quick and handles really well. It is one of my favorite bikes of all time and the best cross bike I have ever ridden...and I have ridden a lot.

Cyclo Cross Bikes
Cross bikes can be used on light trails. The racing is usually done on hard pack trails but without the rock gardens and drop-offs. The wheels are the same as used on road bikes but with beefier tires if that helps with the level of off-road riding the bikes will accept. Cross bikes are tough but the pilot's riding style will have a lot to do with the longevity of the components of the bike. Cross bikes make great bikes because they are pretty quick on the road and when you see a dirt road or path you can take it and explore.

Mad.... one.....
The trick to the cold weather riding is the balaclava, good gloves and booties. Once properly clothed (jacket and tights) most temperatures can be tolerated. The best part of cold weather riding is being seen by those who did not ride due to the cold...it burns them up. It seems every time I miss a ride due to "weather" I see a sweet old woman riding back from the Whole Foods in street clothes...dang!
