Summary:
I purchased this bike at the end of last year for $799 from Randall Scott Cycle Company. Going into this purchase I was skeptical as this was my first online bicycle purchase, but the combination of 105/Ultergra components, carbon fiber fork, Easton Aluminum Frame and Alex wheels looked too good to be true so I went for it. Fortunately, my decision has paid off ten-fold, this bike is a true gem and ranks among the highest value for the price I’ve come across. Prior to my purchase I visited local dealerships and tested many comparable bicycles including the Trek 1500 and Specialized Allez Elite Triple which both list for well over a $1,000. After riding the well known brands and now owning a Tommaso, I’m not sure why anyone wood buy a brand name when you can get a better quality smoother riding bike with equivalent or better components for three quarters of the price.

Strengths:
TOMMASO gives a lifetime warranty!!! In this day and age that is very rare. light, fast, comfortable. cheap
