John Tomac is widely considered one of the greatest (American) mountain bike racers of all time. During the early years of international racing he won numerous DH and XC events. He went on to be the namesake and involved with Tomac bikes. The 204 DH frame in the photo was their flagship model. The bike company then ceased to exist (in the late 2000s?). I also believe he helped coach several (a lot?) of racers over the years including Aaron Gwin for a time. Finally, if you’re into motocross, he is the father of Eli Tomac. Basically, John Tomac was...

Young un's. 😀 He's one of the original legends. Think Gary Fisher, Bontrager et al. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/the-legacy-of-john-tomac-in-cycling-histo… I have no idea if Tomac is still involved in the Tomac brand but there's a lot of nostalgia around the name.

Given how few aluminium fabrication joints remain in the the USA finding similarities between brands probably speaks to them being fabricated in the same places. If you factor in a belt (which has very specific parameters) it’s hardly surprising something looks very similar. It would be pretty cool to see this make it to production, it’s the hype we need right now.

Wow. Seeing a Tomac 205 with a belt drive gearbox wasn’t on my bingo card this year.

8/31/2026 3:35pm Eli is retiring, but him and John appear to be bringing the Tomac bike brand back to life. That’s Johnny T in the open face helmet holding the bike.

The real move is anti-vibration stickers on your tuned mass damper. Science.

Lead is problematic for multiple reasons. If you need something around the same density (i.e. steel isn't doing it for you) then I suggest 10 carat gold.

I had custom made guide+bash made out of 5mm steel, it was around 300g, so maybe 200- 250g heavier than usual alu one. The single sided(ness) of it surely wasn't noticeable lol, but to be honest neither was those 200grams. You also have to realize that plastic bash dampens some of the load and can be fail safe part to prevent damage to BB area or at very least iscg mounts. I wouldn't recommend using super stiff steel one on carbon frame like I did on my dune xr.
