Catching Up With Tomac
Back in August of 06 we sat down with Joel Smith who announced the exciting news that the Tomac name would again be gracing downtubes (http://www.mountainbiketales.com/articles/tomac.htm) in the near future. It’s been nearly a year since that interview but Joel and the rest of the crew behind the Tomac brand’s return to glory have been far from idle. Just in time for the Sea Otter Classic, Tomac Mountain Bikes have finally released photos and specs of their new twin beauties.
