Tommaso Sterrata Sport Performance Aluminum Gravel Bike Carbon Fork Shimano Claris 24 Speeds Road Bicycle Men Road Bikes for Men

Very good road bike, changed tires put armadillo speed tires. Very fast bike and awesome looking. They don't sell them anymore good luck finding the Tomaso Estrada

First on sizing: I'm 6'1" with a 6'0" wingspan. The large fits me perfectly.Review: I got into tour biking last summer and desperately needed to upgrade to something more robust. Initially, the plan was to keep my little road bike because I figured I'd still use it for commuting around the city, but I haven't ridden it once since this Tommaso came. There's been no need to. This bike was just as zippy despite it's burlier frame and wider tires. Seriously, it absolutely cruises around town.It's even better as a touring bike. The 40c tires are comfortable and handle gravel/dirt like a champ. The triple front ring is a HUGE bonus for someone like me who isn't in the best shape. Dealing with big hills with panniers weighing you down can be tough. I wouldn't make it up some hills without it.Underrated feature: the ENTIRE drivetrain is Shimano. So, so, so many budget bikes try to trick you by saying the bike has "Shimano Claris components". Which, sure, but that usually just means the shifters. If you're comparing with other bikes, check to see what their cassette and derailier are. If it's in this price range, chances are they're SunRace or something else. In my opinion, this is why Claris sometimes gets a bad reputation: it's usually paired with other equipment that isn't Shimano. But when the whole drivetrain is build by one company to work together, it's an amazing product.Sorry for the stream of consciousness review, but those are my thoughts! It's a great bike and easily worth the price!Oh, one last thing. If you're comparing all the Tommaso touring bikes and can't quite tell what the difference between them is, let me help you. They're all the same except for the differences listed below:Siena ($550): Shimano Tourney drivetrain, aluminium body, steel fork, Tommaso saddle.Sentiero ($650): Shimano Claris drivetrain, aluminium body, steel fork, WTB Volt saddle.Sterrata ($750): Shimano Claris drivetrain, aluminium body, carbon fiber fork, WTB Volt saddle.Avventura ($850): Shimano Sora drivetrain, aluminium body, carbon fiber fork, WTB Volt saddle.Illimitate ($950): Shimano Tiegra drivetrain, aluminium body, carbon fiber fork, WTB Volt saddle.

I absolutely love the bike so far, however the manufacture seems to be sloppy. The bike has required adjusting out of the box. No instructions. There was a dried up fingernail polish bottle in the package that seemed out of place. Finger smudges on the bike frame, it looks like someone wasn't wearing gloves in the factory. It was missing a really cheap part for the front-axel. Not a big deal or anything... but it's not a good first impression for a bike of this price. Love the styling. No way I'm returning it, but there are annoyances here. Otherwise I would have given it all 5 stars.

I usually spend 3000 or more for my bikes but I wanted to try a gravel bike. This bike seemed like a good fit for me as a trial bike. It arrived 3 days early :-) and the assembly was very easy. In fact it took almost as long to remove the padding and shipping protection from the bike as it did to assemble it, less than an hour. Rides very smooth and solid frame and quiet ride, also very responsive. Components are smooth and easily adjusted. Being used to high end bikes I was worried I might be disappointed...not a bit. Glad I made this purchase and I would recommend to anyone in my position. As far as sizing goes...I am 6'3" and the large is a very good fit for me.

If 0 star ratings are trash and 5 stars swept me off my feet, this bike hovers somewhere in the 3.5 but not quite 4 star range for me.Pros: it comes partially assembled with the rear wheel and chain on, so you just have to have the 4mm and 5mm hex keys to assemble it. The front tire pretty much just slips on, put a pin through it, tightening, squeeze the front brake to align it on the disc brake plate then clamp it to fasten it in place otherwise it will rub like crazy.Cons: This is probably a good point to say, “absolutely no instructions are included.”1) I’ve never assembled a front tire with a disc brake system so it was tricky getting it to stop rubbing without googling how to do it.2) The bike is for someone who is 5’3” but the seat post has too much excess pipe on the end that prevents it from being placed lower so I had to saw off the end of the pipe for it to actually fit their height and not have to hyper extend their knee and lean to one side to push the pedal all the way down. If you don’t have a metal saw or angle grinder and a vice that might be difficult since it’s a pretty thick pipe. When she would pedal downward, with the seat on the lowest level, her foot would come off the pedal because she couldn’t reach due to seat height.3) The bike comes with reflectors that go on the wheels, but they do not align sensibly on the spokes. So I pretty much had to throw those in the trash because there is no way for them to attach with the hardware provided without putting bending pressure on the spokes.3) The red reflector that it comes with fits fine around the seat post, but the white reflector is not made for the front of this bike. The circumference of the white reflector that goes in front is too small for the handlebars or the stem, so I also threw that in the trash.4) There is a lot of excess brake cable hanging off the front and back end. This is the first bike I have purchased that required you to cut the end of the cables but did not include crimping caps for the end to prevent the cable from fraying.5) So long as you are in the middle gear settings, there isn’t an a lot of clanking or rubbing of the shifting system where it is metal rubbing the chain, but on the low gears there is a lot of rubbing with the component that moves the chain up and down the sprocket set. It feels like the front and back gear sets were not meant to be together and don’t work together well.6) The brakes work fine, but the shifters are something else entirely. The inner shifter that moves the chain down to a smaller gear works pretty effectively, although, the larger lever has to be pushed in extremely hard to get to the biggest gear near the pedals. I mean, extremely… Hard. It almost feels like I’m going to break it when riding it trying to get it on that largest gear. It doesn’t seem to make a difference if you were on a large or small gear by the rear tire, getting on that big gear almost feels like you would be better off just going down there with your hands and putting the chain on yourself because switching to it feels impossible.Conclusion: this doesn’t feel like $1000 bike. I have a $1200 full carbon Nashbar bike that functions infinitely smoother than this one. This honestly feels like a $600 bike. While I feel like I may have overpaid, beyond the initial frustration of getting it assembled, at most, even if you bought the bike fully assembled, it only feels like a $700 bike. There are too many mechanical issues to justify the price. I’d return it, but I’ve already modified it to a point where I doubt they would take it back. Put simply, return yours if it doesn’t feel right and try something else.
