They approached the frame design as if they are building their own bikein truth they are. A double butted lightweight aluminum frame with compact geometry is utilized on the Tommaso Velocita. The lower center of gravity makes for a curve eating machine that is easy to fit to the rider. The head tube length is designed to satisfy a wide group of riding styles and body types. The tested road geometry puts the rider right in the sweet spot of power and control. The result is a bike that feels like an extension of your body. You think it, and the Tommaso Velocita does it. The 6061 aluminum frame is light and stiff enough for accelerating while compliant enough for the 6 hour rides in the summer. Tommaso, and other big names in cycling, such as Giant, Specialized, Trek, Masi, and Felt to name a few, rely on compact geometry to best serve the needs of the customer. Compact geometry has a number of advantages for the rider. First of all, the phrase compact geometry is signifying that the top tube the bar you stand over when not in motion is sloped downward from the front to the rear of the bike. This enables the rider to get on and off the bike easily. Traditional frame geometry has a top tube that is parallel to the ground and harder to get a leg over. By sloping the top tube we get into the second benefit of the compact frame: With less material used in producing the frame a lighter frame can be produced. Third, the more material sitting lower on the bike the better the bike will handle. By lowering the center of gravity the bike wants to descend, corner and sprint better. The Tommaso Fit Sizing a compact bike is no different, or more difficult, than any other style of bike. By reviewing the size chart you will see a measurement called the Eff Top Tube measurement, also known as the Effective Top Tube Measurement. This is what the top tube would measure if it was parallel to the ground. It is an imaginary line the runs from the center of the head tube to the center of the seat tube if the seat tube was extended like a traditional frame.. The size chart also lists suggested heights for the different frame sizes. This is far more helpful in sizing a bike than standing over the top tube and pulling up on the handlebars which tells you nothing about the fit of a bike. Tommaso offers seven sizes to accommodate riders large and small. It will be easy to find a fit for all of our customers. The stem can also be flipped and adjusted for a lower back friendly position to a more streamline position in minutes. The lower top tube keeps the center of gravity low and the makes for an easy approach to getting on the bike. This Tommaso bike was designed with the users needs and comfort as the 1 priority. The Tommaso Feel The Tommaso Velocita Dura Ace utilizes the 5034 compact FSA Gossamer MegaExo crank for three simple reasons. The elite athletes love the stiffness of the 6061 aluminum cranks over carbon cranks FSAGossamer cranks were used on the way to winning Stage 3 of the 2007 Tour de France, the price to performance is amazing and the compact gearing gets you everywhere. With the 5034 gearing the FSA Gossamer crank will take you anywhere the road goes. The beauty of the compact crank is its simplicity and lightweight characteristics over a heavier triple crank while supplying the user a very knee friendly gear ratio that is easier to command. With two chainrings instead of three the distance between the crank arms thus lowering the Q factor and providing better pedaling dynamics. The FSA MegaExo bottom bracket is made up from two oversized external cartridge bearing. The larger bearings and their placement outside of the bottom bracket shell makes for stiffer cranks and better power distribution. Keeping the bike rolling is the light, but strong, Alex 298R wheelset. These wheels are built with a radial laced 20 spoke front and two cross 24 spoke rear for a combination of aerodynamics, strength and lightweight. The Alex 298R wheels are built with top of the line DT Spokes matched up with a semi aero 22mm rim with CNC machined braking surface and high end sealed bearings. Other highlights include the light aluminum Tommaso TRS handlebar and stem. Holding the San Marco Ponza Power saddle in place is the FSA SL 280 aluminum post. These components are light, strong and built to last. Tektro supplies confident braking power with its skeletal R580 dual pivot aluminum brakes with P422 adjustable angle cartridge pads. The grip to the road is provided by the world famous Continental Ultra Sport tires. The small groove pattern in the tire provides better wet weather grip and amazing corner traction.
