Fantastic Bike! (cont)
Sorry All! Didn't realize that my review was cut short... must hit Enter too soon.
"Well after touring around the local bike shops and everyone telling me that I will need to be spending around $1000 I said no..." but one day my boss at work who is an avid cyclist said to take a look at Tommaso. I saw the prices on the bike, looked at reviews, etc and realized that this would probably be the best bang for the buck choice to start on. And to get a nice bike that has a carbon fork for UNDER $1000?! Anyways. After receiving my bike went for my first ride. Felt great! I had the typical sores of the first time rider, shoulders, upper back, arms, etc. but all in all GREAT fun. Fell a few times from getting used to the clipless pedals.
It was a great feeling to get down onto the drops going downhill. Can't wait to get my base miles in and start upgrading parts!
So are you considering buying this bike? DO IT!

Fantastic Bike!
So after looking high and low for a great priced bike with a decent setup, I was recommended by a friend to check out a Tommaso bike because of the price. Well after doing research and being on a budget and not knowing if I'm even going to like this cycling thing, I decided to make the investment and purchase the bike.
Now I'm not the kind of person that buys the cheapest item on the market. I prefer to buy the best quality product for the price I can afford. I knew for starters that I should get at least a carbon fiber front fork. And at least some better shifter setup. Well after touring around the local bike shops and everyone telling me that I will need to be spending around $1000 I said no

Basic Pedal? Not Looking to spend a lot?
Hey all! These pedals are perfect for those on a budget and looking for clipless pedals. The main difference between these and lets say Shimano's higher end stuff is the weight. So if you are looking to keep the weight down, then I would suggest going with the Ultegras or Dura Ace lines; however, if you are recreational or beginning rider, these are perfect! Happy Buying!
