It is good by me. Looks like whoever builds the Tomacs no longer uses those trick looking/stiff rear ends though. I'm sure it'll be a quality offering. |

There was an article a couple months back, either in Bike or Dirt Rag, on how the new Tomac company works. Basically a three person operation, four if you count Johnny T.
The guy at the center of the whole deal basically gave up his career, as did his wife, for Tomac bikes and operate the whole thing out of their house. During production it stated he flew his whole family, wife and kid, to Taiwan and inspected each frame by hand to make sure it passed his quality check, The third guy stays back on the homefront and keeps things going smooth. And Johnny T, rides and offers design suggestions.
Good read if you are able to get your hands on it. I wish them the
