John Tomac!

Yes, that’s John Tomacs bike. The rear disc wheel uses Kevlar strings instead of spokes

He also pioneered the use of road bars on mountain bikes, geometry of those old mountain bikes is similar to modern gravel bikes

Frankly that couldn’t be further from what I would consider as the ultimate bike, lots of bikes equal to that.

that’s a lovely looking bike, not sure about the staging for that photo though. The graffiti on the wall looks like a mess of cables.

niiiice! can’t beat a good bit of Ti

The headtube and seat tube sections are 3d printed in Ti which is pretty cool.

Good spot!!!
Looks like he’s got an Alfine hub, cheeky barsteward.

Here’s us thinking he has done it all on a 54x12

Should have pulled those cable ties up nice and tight as punishment for cheating with gears :rofl:

Can’t imagine what it’s like while putting on some power - would be really worried that whole rear wheel would come out

wonder what the reason for that angled saddle seat post is?

and does the way the rear triangle tops out look kind of flimsy?
