Personally I like it, but I like just about anything with two wheels and pedals. I might consider picking one up for a beater, or if I would want to do some "off road" riding. chew me out for it :P

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

Scrodzilla 03-08-11 06:55 PM

That thing looks badass.

youngandcurious 03-08-11 06:59 PM

Hi-ten eww

krapes 03-08-11 07:00 PM

That is truly awesome. Does it have fender eyelets? If so I'm sold.

Scrodzilla 03-08-11 07:02 PM

Hi-ten is a deal-breaker.

Looks like it has fender eyelets.

rootbeer 03-08-11 07:19 PM

Wait...so is this a tricktrack bike? Urban commuter? Hipster garbage? I'm so lost :-|

Can it at least do uber barspinzzzzzzzz

krapes 03-08-11 07:25 PM

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.

PlattsVegas 03-08-11 07:49 PM

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???

LupinIII 03-08-11 07:56 PM

dumb

would be better to buy my iro 29er

patthepunk 03-08-11 08:14 PM

It costs $399.99

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
