I am going to start racing XC on the weekends and at the moment I ride a Santa Cruz Nomad. Its fun on the downhills but its is obviously not suited for XC racing. I was wandering what bike I should get to replace it. Basically I need something that I can ride XC on then throw on a different pair of wheels on and ride all mountain style terrain with out any problems. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Oh I forgot I want an axle up front IE 20mm or 15mm

IMO, keep your nomad for AM and DH trips and get a hardtail. You'll save weight, money and gain efficiency.
If I go that way it will actually be more expensive for me as the frame and fork from the nomad would finance the new bike. The parts from the nomad with exception of wheels and fork would go on the new frame. Any ways I might just suck it up and do that get a Chameleon or a Tranny. But any more suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
