Tomac

I'm looking into a Tomac 78 Special. Anyone have an opinion on Tomac? Does anyone care who Tomac
is anymore?

It's about the bike (regardless of Lance's book title). Who cares about Tomac is secondary to
getting the best bike for yourself. Ride it and be the judge.

Tomac would only use the very best equipment available (when he was sponsored by Giant he never even
raced their frames choosing instead to get US custom made bikes) The bikes he launched are designed
with Doug Bradbury and that guy has some serious clues. The company has been sold out now and most
frames are made in Taiwan but I think the quality (and price!!) is still kind of there.

RLX Polo Sport and Tomac have joined forces for the 2003 racing season. The RLX Polo Sport Mountain
Biking Team will ride the Tomac Buckshot and the Tomac Revolver in National and World Cup events
throughout North America and Europe. Also on slate for the team are mountain biking festivals and
24-hour races in the United States to keep the team near their mountain biking roots.

John Tomac was very upbeat about the new partnership and said "I am very excited to see Tomac
Bicycles back on the professional racing circuit and I look forward to working with the team at the
race events in 03. This will not only be an excellent proving ground for our x-country product, but
it will also enables Tomac to stay on the cutting edge of product development using the RLX Polo
Sport riders as additional R & D test pilots. "

Returning to the team's roster for 2003 are Jimena Florit the Argentinean who resides in San Diego,
CA, winner of four nationals and overall winner of the NORBA Championship Series in 2002; Jeremy
Horgan-Kobelski from Boulder, CO, the 2002 U.S. NORBA National Champion and Dave Wiens from
Gunnison, CO, a former US National Champion and Hall of Famer. The remaining roster will be
announced soon. Franklin Henry from Boulder, CO, who has been with the team since the mid 1990's,
manages the team.

Tomac is part of the American Bicycle Group family, a Chattanooga, TN based company that is the
parent company of Litespeed, Merlin Metalworks, Tomac, and Quintana Roo.

 

John Tomac, Tinker Juarez, & Ned Overland. Are some of the great mountain bike racers that made the
sport explode in the 90's. So who cares? You should if you love the sport.

Who are they and how did they make mountain biking explode? Racing is lame.

I sure as hell don't.

Wasn't he 19-time World Champion from 1916 to 1911? Was from Borneo, I think?

Here here!...I wish I was as into MTB racing now as I was back then.....a great deal of it had to do
with the actual racers. Tomac did for mountain biking what Lemond did for American roadies.....We
need some more American bike champions again. Im too old and way too slow : )
