Tomac IS the man, but I'd never drop money on a tomac bike. They had too much of a reputation for so-so bike and changing the designs completely almost every year. Are we to think that now with THIS release of bikes they FINALLY got it right? Maybe, but most of the other companies have been far more consistant. You know that they took bike A, which worked pretty good, and refined it into the next year's production bike. With tomac everything seems to come out of left field.
