very interesting review, thanks for sharing, I didn't know that Tomac rode for Moongoose, I know that he rode for Raleigh, Giant and Tomac.

Amazing how geometry has changed. Today we have been sold on a soft Cadillac ride and high handlebars. No saying the new is necessary bad but maybe we have lost that sports car feel and satisfaction.

Tomac started with racing Mongoose BMX. Can catch vid clips on youtube.
Here's the Tomac Signature 2nd version at the Pros Closet.

The 1989 version had a front triangle in titanium and bonded steel monostay rear made by Merlin.
