Raleigh John Tomac Signature 1992
One of the most iconic bikes in bikehistorie, this bikes embodies one of the most defining decades in mountainbike historie.
Made by Merlin and later Litespeed, the carbon tubes and titanium lugs/rear triangle re-defines framebuilding techniques and materials used.
With the original frames being a really rare example of bike historie, there are not many going around, most of them that are still alive are being owned by collectors. So I've decided to new-build this frame, as I am of course primarily a framebuilder.
Halfway during the '91 season Tomac swapped the dropbar for the flatbar, also changed the Manitou fork for a Rock Shox Mag 21 SL, a Shimano XTR M-900 groupset with Grafton brakes and of course the destrinctive Tioga Disc Drive Pro wheel.
Tioga also delivered the crankset, titanium cassette, tyres, seatpost, headset, handlebar and stem.
Decals are made by Gil from Retrodecals in UK.
