Tommaso Monza Bicycle
Posted: July 15th, 2009 | Author: saldarji | Filed under: sports, stuff | 6 Comments »I got the bicycling bug again and decided to purchase a geared bicycle.
I received the shoes and pedals in first from Nashbar.
The bicycle was very well-packed. Everything was covered in foam and cardboard. If you get one of these, be prepared to cut off about 30 zip ties. The bicycle arrived in perfect condition.
The Monza came with an owners manual and assembly instructions. The owners manual has no practical use. The assembly instructions were decent. I decided to assemble it right in the padded box.
The pedals are a perfect match for the bicycle. The cleats are red, which happen to match the Time (shoes) logo.
Here’s the finished bicycle. It looks beautiful and was a bargain with the components. It is definitely heavier than I would want at around 22 lbs. However, I’m a beginner and think that this is going to be a great beginner bicycle. I can purchase something more expensive after I improve my skills/ability.
Hey man, how is the Tommaso monza doing? I am thinking about grabbing one. Looks like a quality bike.. well quality components.
Let me know if you’ve had any issues, etc.
What shoes and pedals are those. I may get the same since I know they all work.
Thanks,
Jos

Anyone else purchase the Monza? I think I’m going to bite the bullet this week as RS is having some incredible sales.

I use the Nashbar Special Roadbike pedal – available here. They are a great value. They come with the cleats. The cleats are mounted to your choice of shoe using three screws. I purchased a pair of Time RXP road cycling shoes, also on closeout from Nashbar.
