real pics on the Tommasos?   It is already a leap of faith to buy a bike online (although I bought a Corvo from you last year and love it), but doing so with only mock illustrations instead of photos seems a bit much. When are you going to get actually pics of the new Tommaso line?

Corvo 56cm -- I *love* this bike

This is my first carbon frame and my first true road bike since 8 years ago (with a single speed and a cyclocross bike filling the years between). I couldn't be happier with this bike. The wide gearing makes it a monster climber and the shifting is crisp. Like everyone says, it sets up in 20 minutes or so and rides like a charm. Been on 4 rides in as many days for a total of maybe 100 miles so far; loved every minute of it. Two notes. First, I was worried about the wheelset, it not being an especially well known brand. But for me, they spin up plenty fast and I have no regrets. Second, I may swap out the seat at some point, but that is highly personal anyway -- I was riding a Sella Trans-Am for a long time. I also picked up a pair of Look Quartz pedals for it. My last road bike came with Time ATAC pedals and I liked the crazy amount of float and the easy in and out. It seems mountain riders don't like that the Quartz aren't as "bombproof" as the ATACs, but for a road bike they give me exactly what I want. Customer support from both Giantnerd and Tommaso was highest quality you could ask for and the product is just a blast to ride.
