I like it. Consider a smaller chainring and knoblier tires to have any real fun in the dirt though.

Hi-ten is a deal-breaker.

Looks like it has fender eyelets.

What's wrong with hi-ten steel? I don't know much about frame quality.

A hand full of disc brake will send you over the bars so fast. Better have that thing really dialed in so you don't nose dive.

Definitely. Still looks badass though. I wonder: what it weighs, what it costs.

looks like it would be better as an ss mtb. Probably mad heavy, but who gives a sh*t.

EDIT: the biggest question: How much does it cost???

a little more slowly with hi-ten though!

(truth be told, i hate to see the 'tommaso' brand so withered.)

seems like too much

i've had my iro, with dual hydraulic disc brakes, better steel frame, much better wheels, and overall more useful bike listed for not much more on craigslist and have had zero interest in it. maybe i just need to take off the rear brake and put on a fixed cog for it to be popular haha
