Tommaso Imola Lightweight Aluminum Sport Road Bike - Italian Heritage and Craftsmenship, Upgraded Shimano Gears
The Tommaso Imola is a light, fast Italian bred road bike that is built and designed with legendary old world craftsmanship. A light weight TSS 6061 aluminum compact frame coupled with 24 Shimano equipped speeds make this the right bike for all your cycling adventures. The Imola is specifically engineered to provide you with thousands of miles of dependability and enjoyment. The Imola is part of the Tommaso Sport Series line of bikes which are engineered with Tommaso's OGS (Optimized Geometry System) frame design. The OGS design utilizes various tube shapes and thicknesses to provide the rider with both efficient power transmission and excellent road dampening qualities. This combination helps reduce body fatigue and will provide you with the ability to extend your rides to longer distances. Oh, and the best part, all Tommaso frames are warrantied for life, what other bike brand stands behind their product like this, none. The Imola is equipped with a triple chain ring up front and a 12x24T, 8-speed cassette in the rear. This optimum gearing combination will allow you to effortlessly get up every hill, while giving you the gearing to increase your speed on the flats. The upgraded Tektro R312 brakes have the stopping power to allow you to let it fly on the descents with the knowledge that you can stop on a dime. The Imola is not just your ordinary entry level bike, as it is outfitted with light aluminum ergo handlebars, a Tommaso Racing saddle and Kenda tires, all components that you normally only find on bikes costing thousands more. If you are looking for a great bike to get you on the road, but don't want to mortgage your house to own it, then the Tommaso Imola should be on the top of your list. PROFESSIONAL ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
