The actual bike that John Tomac raced much of 1992 (although in early ‘92 on a blue re-decal’d Merlin Ti/Eason E9 bike) and all of ‘93.
This might be the first time it’s seen dirt since then.
Like all of his bikes it has a quick handling, stiff front end and more compliant rear. The latter is perhaps due to the combination of Ti and TDD.
No matter what one thinks of the ride - and I find the ride and quick handling to suit me perfectly (admittedly at 1/2 JT speed) - this bike is an amazing piece of history tucked away for decades but now out for a breath of fresh air.
