The Tommaso Aggraziato bike is an excellent value for the money. I was considering many other bikes with similar equipment, but they all cost about $1000 more. I took a chance on the Tommaso, and overall I am very pleased. I had RS Cycle do a pro-build for me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering buying this bike. I took it out of the box, and about 20 minutes later I was riding around the neighborhood. It was very smooth and seemed very similar to the Trek Madone 5.2 ($3200) I had test drove two weeks earlier. On my first ride, I was impressed with the smoothness, the stiffness, and the overall quality of the ride. It Flies!!! I've had the bike three months now, and I'm still impressed. The only problems came from the FSA crank and front derailleur. I spent an extra $350 to replace these dogs, and now I have a well working fast bike that I'll probably have for many years to come.The Aggraziato is a light weight, smooth riding, well equipped machine. The Shimano components, the saddle, the FSA brakes, the Fulcrum Racing 7 wheel set, and even the tires all get a big thumbs up from me. It looks cool and has a great price.

Without a doubt, the worst thing on the bike is the FSA crank and front derailleur. They just don't work correctly. I worked on them, and the local bike shop worked on them, to no avail. I then threw these FSA (I have an acronym for this, but I agreed not to use that type of language here)parts in the trash, and replaced them with Shimano Ultegra SL and Ultegra front derailleur. Problem solved!!! Oh yeah, the rim strips are really cheap too. Do yourself a favor and replace them before your first ride. One more thing, RS Cycle claims a $100 value for the box......ah I don't think so. It went right to the recycling bin.
