BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Tommaso Monza is an entry-level aluminum road bike with a carbon-fiber fork, 2x10-speed gearing, and caliper brakes. Owners praise the low weight, vibration-damping carbon fork, ample stopping power, and smooth-shifting Shimano Tiagra drivetrain. However, they advise upgrading the "terrible" tires and low-end saddle to get the most out of it. Likewise, the heavy rims and problems with spokes disappoint. Despite these complaints, owners consider the Tommaso Monza great value but recommend professional assembly. Buyers should also consider alternatives like the GT Grade and Cannondale Synapse, which offer disc brakes and brand-name reliability at similar price points.
