Strengths: Stiff, reasonably light, looks great, stealth - all black,Weaknesses: Brand name is not well known yet,Bottom Line: I really like this bike. I have had it for 2 years with the Dura Ace Gruppo on it. Paid $2500 for the bike all told and have put over 4000km on it during the 2 years. Since I am a big guy, I think that the stiffness has been good for me as I have never felt this flex. I feel I don't get numb from the road vibration also. The best thing about it has been the value for the money. It is not the highest end road bike out there, but the comments about the carbon seem to me to be false as my experience has been great. I live in Canada in Niagara region and have used it to climb the escarpment or the Halton Hills near Burlington/Oakville etc. It has never let me down and the weight of the bike is ok.

Strengths: - Power seems to go directly to the wheel, and not lost on bike.
- Compact works for me, though I could use a bit wider range for climbs.Weaknesses: Very still tail geometry. Would benefit from changning rear geometry to absorb some of the road vibrationBottom Line: This is my first full-carbon, having spent years on an aluminum. Very responsive on climbs and accelerating on flats. Can't say I notice much vibration for how stiff the frame is, except in the tail.
For non-ultraserious riders like myself, I would recommend this bike.
I love this bike!

Strengths: Value, plenty of comfort, durable finish, and no issues after 1000+ miles.Weaknesses: brakes could be upgraded, original spec had FSA crankBottom Line: I took a chance with a none premier name in road bikes and have been pleasantly surprised. For the price it has been a great value. Although not the lightest carbon frame it does a fine job of smoothing out the road, and is very quiet and stable. I simply haven't had any issues. Also as with any bike a good wheelset really makes a difference (Mavic Askiums to Ksyrium SL.) My components are all Shimano 105 or Ultegra which you simply cant go wrong with for this level of bike. Plus its not bad looking, and the finish has held up nicely.

Strengths: Good price, but cheaply made frame.Weaknesses: Tommaso frame is garbage. Stick with a Trek or Specialized.Bottom Line: I started with the TCF1000R, which became the Tommaso Aggraziato. I have had 3 Tommaso bikes in 4 years because of problems with the carbon. Be weary of Tommaso and rscycle.com. Most of the posts on the forums are posted by people working for rscycle and not by consumers that actually own the bike. Price was pretty good, but the quality of the frame itself is very poor. Also, rscycle has refused to replace the frame under warranty a 3rd time (paint is chipping off the frame) Be weary of this seller.
