What size is it?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..
From the article:
LOL....and like the DH-6 and DH-8. It is the same design but Rotec used the original concept on the design (bottom bracket pivot), but the first tomac and Rotec share the same floating shock design. I had a chance to parking lot test a Rotec and it felt amazing, I can imagine it being killer on the trail.the old one with the lawill dealy looks like a newer rotec and like the four banger
Joel Smith bought the rights I think...good on him!
Are some of these guys serious in that they don"t know who Tomac is? If you don"t know who Tomac is you should stop riding your bike!
Well hell, fill us in. Do I know who Tomac is? Yes, I've shaken hands with him several times and I have his autograph (I know I'm a dork). Is his oldman Lawwill or does he have some practical MX experience?They are likely the same kind of folks who don't know who Joel Smith's dad is.
A fella named Malcolm Smith (Moose, MSR etc...) He co-starred in "On Any Sunday" with Lawill and Steve McQueen. He has plenty of experience in warehousing and asian sourcing. I doubt he is financially involved with the brand, but he sure would be a good guy to have on your side. Plus, he is about as OG as it comes these days in the offroad racing scene.Well hell, fill us in. Do I know who Tomac is? Yes, I've shaken hands with him several times and I have his autograph (I know I'm a dork). Is his oldman Lawwill or does he have some practical MX experience?
Details on the 220mm travel Primer downhill bike are not yet available. But Tomac said that the design is a refined version of the Magnum 204 downhill bike.
let me give you a "hell yeah" to that sentiment!Joel Smith and Johnny T making bikes...I do not think it can get better than that.
This is a good dose of nostalgia and knowledge that the industry needed.
I can't think of any other brand than SunnPerhaps Nico and Anne Caro did? Only other one I can think.
I (and I'm sure everybody else) would love to see you post them here.I've got some pretty sexy photos of the bikes sitting on the cliffs over Monterey if anyone wants another look. Just e-mail me at jsmith@tomac.com.
They won all 4 titles in 95...then in 96' on the outland bikes I know leigh won both DH and slalom again, and I think lopes won one or the other-like you...then they won again and again but I can't remember the years they BOTH won titles- its too long ago and I can not remember hahaStik,
Weren't Brian and Leigh double DH National Champions on Outland-bikes with Mongoose stickers? It seems like a distance memory now.
