Perhaps the most interesting bike in the Tomac booth at Sea Otter, though, wasn't even a true production model. The limited-edition DB10 commemorates the company's tenth anniversary but is also a throwback to the days when Tomac was racing off-road with drop bars. As Joel Smith of Tomac Bicycles puts it, "Since that day, I've always wanted to make another one, but do it the right way."

That 'right way' comprises a straight-gauge chromoly frame with modern dimensions and fittings, all welded by Chris Herting of 3D Racing fame. The custom finish is by Spectrum Powder Works, who also painted the matching Manitou R7 fork. Much of the associated componentry is fairly standard fare, save for the old Cinelli Tomac-signature edition drop bars (supposedly sourced out of someone's personal stash in Germany), Shimano Dura-Ace STI 9-speed right-hand lever, left-hand bar end shifter and Shimano Dura-Ace 9-speed rear derailleur.

Want one? Act fast; Tomac will only be making ten of this and when they're gone, they're gone.

Pour ceux qui sont assez vieux. Tomac faisait du downhilll avec un MTB muni d'un guidon de route.

Imaginez j'ai de la misère à faire de la route avec un guidon de route!

J'adore, la peinture de la Manitou originale
