Bike Size Charts

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

Tommaso's Sentiero is an entry-level aluminum gravel bike with mechanical disc brakes, 40mm CST tires, and a 3x8 Shimano Claris road drivetrain. There are no expert reviews for this bike, but owners deem it a good deal for casual riding. The Sentiero is relatively light for this price and has an above-average Shimano Claris drivetrain. Buyers complain of poor quality tires and wheels, receiving bikes with damaged parts, inaccurate sizing, and rapid loss of performance. Overall, the Sentiero's quality seems to match its low price.
