Tommaso Monza Sport Bike Performance Aluminum Road Bike Carbon Shimano Tiagra 24 Speeds Road Bicycle Men Road Bikes for Mens

I bought this for my son to get him started in road racing at an entry level. I was prepared to pay $1,500 to $2,000 for a quality entry level bike that he could get started on. I have been racing and competing in events for over 30 years so I know what i know about bikes. I picked up the bike and took it for a spin, after having a set of Look pedals installed, and OMG is this a screaming value. After 10 miles, if you had told me this bike was $1,600-$1,900, I would have said that its was a great value. Right after did another 10 miles on the exact route on my CF Pinarello for comparison. The geometry of this bike is more relaxed (comfortable to ride). The only thing to do is select your pedals and put some good tires on it. To be honest, in my opinion, the tires are virtual garbage. I am going to leave them on the bike for for now so he gets some experience fixing the inevitable flat tires coming is way on the road. Every rider needs to learn this anyways. The sooner the better. The handle bars and seat are great. The 4700 banged off shifts virtually as well as previous generation Dura Ace and now the cables run under the wraps...progress. The brakes were strong and felt smooth right away. I bedded the pads for him. The larger hoods are amazing. All in all and at this price point, with a carbon fork, add a few bucks for your favorite skins, put on some quality pedals and ride it for years. This is a SCREAMING Value. I am taking it for a longer ride tomorrow and really pound on it but I do not foresee anything short of a unexpected failure to change my mind after my quick spin today. Feel free to ask any questions of me and I will share my opinions.

This is my first decent road bike. I have had a hybrid bike for the past 12 years and have probably logged several thousand miles on it. I decided that I am into riding enough as a hobby that I deserved an upgrade, and I couldn't be happier with this bike. I am 6'5, 250lbs, and ordered an XL bike which is labeled as 60cm. I do feel that the bike is slightly small, but welcome to my world. The fit of a road bike is different than the hybrid or mountain bike, so this is just going to take some getting used to. The bike is lightweight, and the parts are top brand quality. I expect that this bike will last me several more years until I am ready to compete in the tour de rail-trail. The reason I would give this item greater than 5 stars if possible is because of the customer service at Giant Nerd. My bike came with a defective rear derailleur shifter that my local bike shop stated they could not fix. I called Giant nerd and spoke to Chris. Without any questions, accusations, or resistance, he immediately located another Shimano Tiagra rear shifter and sent it to me that day, and apologized for my inconvenience. Not only that, but they are going to refund me whatever the cost of fixing the bike is. I did not even have to ask, that is how great the customer service at Giant nerd is. Now to top this all off, I ordered the bike on a Wednesday, and it was delivered 3 days later even though Amazon said that it would take 10 days. I plan to exclusively use Giant nerd as my supplier for any future bike or parts that I may need. Thank you again guys and gals

I purchased the Tommaso Monza and was not paid to write this review. First off let me state that there is a tremendous value for what you are getting with the Monza if you are just starting to dip your feet into the complex world of road bicycles. The foundation for any bike is the frame and in this case it's made of 6061 aluminum with a carbon fork; it does a good job of absorbing most road imperfections such as bumps, small potholes, and light gravel but anything bigger you will definitely feel. The frame is pre-drilled with spots for 2 bottle cages and a bag rack in the rear. All brake and gear cabling is routed externally. I got the metallic blue color which is very captivating when you see it in person and I've received many compliments from my fellow riders. Moving on to the wheels, Tommaso provides their self branded Corsa TC-40 wheel set which are quite heavy but passable in my opinion. Where they really drop the ball are on the tubes and tires - within the first week of riding I got three flats while on fairly smooth tarmac and little to no debris. I chalk it up to the pretty terrible rubber compound and slim 23c size. They were promptly replaced with Continental GatorSkin 25c tires which greatly improved the comfort of my ride and eliminated any issues with flats. The value I mentioned before really comes in the form of the full Shimano Tiagra 4700 drivetrain (crank, cassette, front/rear derailer, STI shifters, brakes, and chain). Tommaso should be praised for figuring out how to integrate Tiagra at such a reasonable price point rather than going with the Claris groupset. Regarding performance, I've found that shifting has been smooth and consistent in all road conditions with the occasional stutter under heavy load. In my opinion if you are a novice to intermediate rider then Tiagra will suite you just fine, but advanced riders should look towards the105 or even Ultegra groupsets for improved performance. Lastly, unless you intend to race with this bike then I strongly recommend that you replace the saddle (seat) with one that has more cushion. There is virtually no padding with the one provided and I could barely get through a few minutes before I started feeling numbness in my anatomical areas. I understand their intention but I feel that they under delivered considering the main use of this bike for most users will be commuting or touring. Overall this is a really fun bike and I recommend it with the mentioned caveats. For frame of reference I am a 6'3" guy weighing 225lbs. In the last 5 months of riding the bike I've logged about 800 miles.

This Tomasso is a well balanced bike that handles great! I’m 6’3” 220 lbs. I purchased the XL bike. This bike is light weight, shifts flawlessly, and the saddle is comfortable, but, it will take some getting use to. I’ve been riding an old Schwinn for a while, and the difference when compared to the new Tomasso is remarkable. I have read some reviews about the poor quality of the tires and inner tubes, however, I’m keeping everything stock. The bike performs very well. I had a professional bike store do all the assemblies and check everything out for me. To me, it was worth the small price to have a pro put it together. I can personally recommend the Tomasso Monza to anyone who wants to do some serious riding with a bike that performs excellent in all areas. Even the guys riding the high dollar bikes were impressed with this Tomasso. Great bike ! 🚴
