Comparisons Giant Aluminum Road Bike. It is like night and day. Much smoother and faster on the Tommaso.

Carbon vs. Aluminum Frames While riding, I have noticed there is a little more rattling and creeking on my full carbon bike versus my aluminum frame bike. I have been told this is normal for a carbon bike. Can anyone weigh in on this?

Goes great with the R1
Bought this to replace my original. Highly recommend this. Went to 11,000 ft mid-winter in Nevada with the R1 and R2 and my torso was pretty comfortable.

One of my favorite base layers
I purchased this one to replace one that I originally had. I highly recommend these as a base layer. The best part of the fleece is the quilted inside. It really helps with the airflow around your body.

1st one, but not my last
Just got this on a lark. The jacket is very comfortable and breathable. Very soft liner. The size chart was very acurate for my particular jacket.

Sixth Sense after a Tri season
My Tri season has ended. I did about 3 races with my road bike, and 4 with the Sixth Sense. What a difference there was! My legs felt better during the run, and I felt like I didn't expend as much energy during the bike. Highly recommend this bike, and will probably purchase another after this one.

Good Buy
I never thought a helmet would make as much as a difference during races, but the Giro proved me wrong.

Tommaso "Sixth Sense"
I just got my sixth sense in the mail last week. Tommaso and Giantnerd did an excellent job during the shipping. Delivery was prompt (actually earlier than quoted), and the bike can in perfect shape. The box however took the brunt of the shipping damage. The bike is great. It felt like I was sailing over the pavement. I recommend changing the tubes out of the tires though. My back tire got a flat on the first ride about 4 miles out, and the front got a slow leak. I had to change out both within the first 3 days of getting the bike. This is my first all carbon bike, and there is a huge difference between aluminum and carbon. Just from looking at the bike, you can tell the sixth sense is built for speed. Everything appears to be well thought out and trimmed down to decrease overall weight. I would definately make the purchase again if I had to do it all over again.

Deal or No Deal
I agree with everyone else, the bikes are high quality at a low price.

where do you travel??
I traveled to Peru this last February. I was amazing. There was a ton of bio-diversity. All the way from sandy beaches, to desert, to dense rain forest. We were lucky enough to get to visit Machu Pichu, which was amazing. Also, the Peruvian culture has embraced their history. In Cusco, for instance, they still have a square that is the heart of the city. The people there are really nice also. I wouldn't mind going back there; I am sure there are things I missed.
