Tomac 204 Magnum

[heavyp]

So I am currently trying to save a house deposit and this then this little beauty pops up for sale in the states so I had to have it!
Frame humber is 14 which is one of the very first of the production line, word is there was 200 made but thats not confirmed as apparently production was stopped before they were all made.

I am still unsure how to build it but it will have manitous and deemax on it (I think).

This is the bike as I bought it, but as soon as it came through the door I stripped it down and had to see it as juts a frame with the Manitou X-verts on it.

Stunning - I had a Lawill 204 and it was an incredible thing. As I bought it, it had a set of X-Verts too which were totally at odds with the mega plush rear end! Think I ran Shivers on mine for most of its life... lad I sold it to switched to 888s and I think the last I heard, the head tube had ovalised. Would love another...

Couple of new parts arrived for my build yesterday, few more parts on the way from all over the world. Cant wait to get this one built up

Hey, I'm late to the party but what year is this frame?

 

[heavyp]

1999

Was it just one year of production for the Lawwill frame?

Oh man that's lovely! I'd have the majority of the parts ready to make a John Tomac race bike replica with the orange xvert ti, deemaxes, tioga factory dh's, magura gustavs etc. but that frame is avoiding me heavily

Looking forward to seeing how it builds up!

Looks nice just sat there as a frameset

Finally got around to taking the old headset off which meant I could get the steering damper off also. This is the project Ill finish next!

Not shocked at all on what my Tomac weighs

take a few grams off for the seatpost and rear shock. 6.21kg or 13.69LB depending on where you are in the world.

That's a bit of a beast, looks in good shape compared to most used for its discipline.
