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
I guess the saying “If you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it.” really applies here:
Frankly that couldn’t be further from what I would consider as the ultimate bike, lots of bikes equal to that.
This one I like
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.
Is that a hub gear on there?
Good spot!!!
Looks like he’s got an Alfine hub, cheeky barsteward.
Here’s us thinking he has done it all on a 54x12
No bottle cages though
Should have pulled those cable ties up nice and tight as punishment for cheating with gears ![]()
How bonkers is this?
Watch this video on Facebook
Can’t imagine what it’s like while putting on some power - would be really worried that whole rear wheel would come out
Available in Halfords!
Proper ugly that
wonder what the reason for that angled saddle seat post is?
and does the way the rear triangle tops out look kind of flimsy?
