Review Battle Tomahawk!!!!!!!
Re:
Hi All,
If anyone is feeling particularly sentimental about the Battle Tomahawk and wishes to own one (again), let me know...I've got one sitting for the last decade or two in a garage in Colorado. Unlike Less's, it's the carbon rear/carbon front model, and I think it's a rather small size (16")--it was always tiny for me, but as a teenage I thought it was coolest thing ever (so tried to make it fit me). I bought it for a song when it was about 2 years used from a good customer that frequented the shop I worked in. It never did fit me, but I always loved it and seeing people's reaction to it. I've got a bunch of parts that are either still on the frame (King wheel set [at least the front], Kooka cranks & stem, gravity research brakes, onza HO pedals, slasa ti skewers, paul's levers, etc.) or in a box next to it--I collected anodized shinny stuff in 1996-8 for that ride while working at Bike Shop Bill's (Aspen Park, CO). Here's to hoping that I might see one of my favorite old bikes go from laughable out-dated-junk status to genuine collectable item.
I have no idea what it might be worth--according to http://rjs.org/builders.html the company only produced some 50 frames/bikes over two years.
Thanks for posting the link to the MBA back issue with company's write up!

Re:
I just found a Battle Tomahawk at a local co-op. It is missing it's original fork, but a rock-shox mag 21 should not be to hard to source. The welds are a little "iffy" but they seem solid. I am a classic road bike guy but this thing is an absolute blast to ride.

Re:
I like this brand.
I searched and found a Battle NOS rear triangle in carbon / aluminum to make or Up grade frame.
It was for my Titus / AMP B2.
But ultimately it's for B5?
I think Battle made a model with this back.
