I remember the old Tomac DH bike, as i saw it two years ago at Mammoth, but what happened to them. Is there any info floating around on their 2007 bikes.

i know they are in the process of making a DH bike, an all-mountain bike, and a xc bike, but anyone got pictures or updates?

all I got is whats here at:

tomac.com

 

[zmtber]

Nothing

 

[Hannigan]

They said they would release info in the spring...

[zmtber]

Dude, I used to have one of those frames (#169), and I miss it a lot. I'd LOVE to find another one...
Sigh...

 

[richhouseman]

Tomac bikes were so good back in the day!

 

[zmtber]

yeah they were i got a chance to ride one in the parking lot in Mammoth for a couple of minutes and just with that simple test i new it was one of the better bikes out there. Simple yet unigue. I remember the frame being really thin and shaped like a wing, am i right or is this something else.

No, that's it. The downtube reminded me of a Litespeed Blade TT frame, thin, sharp, narrow.
Great paint too.

Youve never heard of Tomac bikes of Johnny "T" Tomac? That guy was an awesome racer. He's won the Kamakazzi DH like 4or5 times.

[zmtber]

I used to have a 204. Bought it used from RM member phil. It was a sweet bike. The geometry was great (steeper than most modern DH bikes, but not overly so...very good in tight stuff), suspension was plush and well constructed and it looked killer. It also probably had the nicest and most sturdy hardware and standards of any bike I've ridden (100mm BB, 165mm hub, big bolts...).

I hope that Tomac comes out with something good...I always liked their frames. The last round of them (MOAH, etc) were a bit lackluster.

Tomac had a Freeride bike in 06 called the MOAH, i dont think they make DH specific bikes anymore

 

[zmtber]

their web site, new owners, has posted that in spring we should see some DH, a XC, and a all-mountain bike coming from Tomac

 

[zahgurim]

I still have my original Lawwill 204 Magnum.
I have seen designs for the new ones, they are sweet.

Tomac is back!

Look for info on the new ones soon...

 

[zmtber]

hah!, is there anyway you can post a pick we wont tell/show anyone :biggrin:

 

[Hannigan]

I dont really believe that you've seen the new designs...unless you know doug or mark landsaat personally.

 

[zahgurim]

Believe it, or don't. Doesn't bother me...

I work for a distributor.

Wish I could post them up, but don't want to piss people at the company off.

I'll be rocking a DH when they're out.

 

[zmtber]

post it up when you get the chance

can you at least give us the name will it still be the 204?

 

[Bobodaclown]

Anyone seen anything on the new range yet?

I would love to own one of the original 204 magnums.

I have a friend who got on of thoughs old ones with a shiver, Fox RC, ect. from some random guy he met at the local DJs. My friend traded his single speed redline DJ bike *not worth more then $500* for the guys Tomac cuz he said he wanted a DJ bike.

I still havent determined if it was a good deal or not.

 

[Bearmntpicnic]

well i guess if your friend was a djumper now hese a downhiller

From personal experience, I can say that the Rotecs (both) work better for me...That white one used to be mine, till some greaseball liberated it from my garage. Now I have one of the new ones. Due to the concentric pivot, the bearings last(ed) longer for me...

Damn it...now I'm all pissed off again about not having my old moto-link....damn it!!!

picture of the new dh bike...

im just wondering why it has to be lime green...

 

[FCLinder]

Love the Green!!!! Damn, it makes me miss my old Kawasaki's.

 

[muddy beast]

haha exactly, he used to like it because it would float on DJs compared to his hardtail...but now hes trying to sell it. No one seems to want one anymore..

It kind of looks like a varitation of the Moah rig they made under the American Bicycle Group couple of years back.

Lime green is alright as a colour

 

[sanjuro]

Did he invent the Nevegal?

 

[jet]

It looks like it may have a swing link from the top of the BB (like a Maverick) to a solid rear end. I like that it still has the three truss from the chainstay yoke to the chainstays. I always thought that looked strong.
