Tommaso Bikes is an American bicycle manufacturing company. Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado Tommaso Bikes has a long lineage going back to fine custom Italian handmade bicycles.

Tommaso Bicycles was founded in 1985 as a road bike brand. Since then the brand has expanded to include track bikes, fixed gear bikes, triathlon bikes and cyclocross bikes. Tommaso bicycles had a solid line of steel road bicycles that expanded to titanium and as of 2004 consists of steel, aluminum and carbon road bikes. In 2009 the core of the road line is the five aluminum road bike offerings paired up with 4 carbon road bikes and a steel entry level bike. New for 2010 is the addition of 2 cyclocross bikes (1 aluminum and 1 carbon) and 3 triathlon bikes (1 aluminum and 2 Monocoque carbon). The Tommaso Bicycles office moved from Florida to Boulder, Colorado. The move is twofold in that Boulder is a Mecca for cycling and pro athletes training for road, mountain and mountain biking. Boulder also draws some of the industry’s top marketing, managing and media experts.
