The Definition of Value - The Tommaso Imola Road Bikes

You know those families where there are a set of siblings and they are both super awesome? One of the siblings is usually a little more badass than the other but they are both just blessed. Everything they touch turns to gold. I'm the little brother but so it pains me to say that the older brother is usually the more blessed of the two.

Tommaso has replicated this dynamic, probably just to spite me. The Imola family of road bikes are those kids down the street that dominated everyone at basketball. If your into cycling they are the Schleck brothers.

The Tommaso Imola with Carbon Fork Road Bike is Frank Schleck. Actually it is just a bike. The Tommaso Imola with the carbon fork is the big brother to the Imola and the only real difference between the two bikes is that carbon fork. Not to be downplayed that carbon fork can make a world of difference when riding, especially on long rides. It makes the overall weight of the bike less and the carbon is designed to absorb road vibrations making for a smoother ride.

The Tommaso Imola Road Bike is Andy Schleck, the little brother. The "regular Imola" as it is known around here probably gets a bad rap when compared to the Carbon brother but it is a beast, especially when you consider the price. Both bikes are tricked out with a sleak black paint job, Tommasos compact aluminum frame, and Shimano components including STI shift levers with optical display and adjustable reach.

Trek, Specialized, or an other bike company can't even come close to offering the same value as these beauties. Go ahead and compare, we don't mind, they might though.
