My baby stood on its own and took its first steps this morning!

My new wheel set finally came in and I got my ghetto tubeless setup installed with my Johnny Tomac signature tires. =]

What do you guys think?!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. This bike has been quite a while in the making now because of lack of funds and me moving. I am so pumped to finally have everything coming together. =]

Looks sweet, tomac seem to be making a comeback, cant wait to get a car park bounce on one of those bad boys...Itll look even better if you can source some white 40's.

Only bad thing i could say is youve gone for a pretty pimp/lightweight spec and then put some heavy and imo ugly bar/stem combo...how about somthing from sunline if you can afford it and like the grey finish.

Hopefully I will be able to source one down. =]

Also, the stem/bars... Yeah, they were $22 new for the set at the Santa Cruz garage sale this last weekend. Potentially going to be replaced in the future when I have more money.

I have never been a fan of Tomacs(looks), but that is a great looking frame. Congrats.

They really have stepped it up with the new line of bikes for this year. They also have some serious talent riding for them this year too. =]

I might get those grips from you man. Just got a free Shimano Ultegra 23-11 cassette from my pro road racing coworker. Sweet.

It's tall for shredding the gnar man. haha

You should ask Philp Polk or Rhys Willemse how it works out... =]

Interesting. I might have to get a hold of one of them...

Kind of funny how last year I was rocking the all black swd with black 40. Now this year everything is white. So fashion-core.



Also opposite of my Tomac Snyper... =]

Thanks guys.

Mike... haha

I was curious what the coverage would be with a guide/bash. Looks like I should be good, especially with me on the bike and compressing the suspension at all.

I know! I cant wait to show it off. If it isn't built and/or we haven't gone riding yet, you will for sure see it at my housewarming party? =]

I also got confirmation on my new WHITE 40 being ordered. SWEEEET!

Got my seatpost finally and so I could sit on my bike for the first time... so nice!

Thanks man!

Bottom bracket will be here on Monday and then I can get my drivetrain done. Sweet

Man, that frame is growing on me! Just wondering though, how did you get a hook up with them?

Damn man, your signature is awesome. hahahaha

I got in contact with them late last year when I had some questions about the bikes and went from there. Amazing customer support and all around great company putting out some seriously sweet bikes. =]
