Don't tell me it lives under a blue tarp - that is sad. Put that thing in your bed if you have to, but bring it inside!!

Oh for a moment there I thought it was a Santa Cruz locked up out side! Dude! It's not a Kona!!!! Put that thing next to your bed!! Realy?

Right man for the job

Here's mine:

Nice... Coil is sooo my taste lately:P
If it's your first joplin, you'll move to a remote I bet
Ah, and this is the clamp comparison:
(original - crap
bonty - cool
repair kit - cool b/o color)

Please do yourself a favour and take a good look at this clamping unit - it is well scary and dangerous on a hc bike:/

SORRY FOR THE OT but this is one scary item

Nah... she does fine outside. I live in California, not Maine. Next to my bed is my Serotta road bike.

Five months ago I was the very first person in Australia to lay down a deposit for a Nomad Mk 2. This is only the second large frame to be built up here, the first was
the importer's as his personal ride.

Only ridden it down the road so far but feels so nice to have a Nomad again

[sooner518]

that white fork on white frame looks freakin sweet. im jealous.

what does mk2 stand for? I've never really known

[gticlay]

Anyone have a black frame with the white FLOAT 36? Ano or PC? That's what I'm thinking of going with.

All the previos Nomads up to 08 are just refinements of the original design. The 09 (mark 2) version has been redesigned from the ground up.

This bike belongs to my internet-handicapped buddy. Size med, 29.75lbs. It's a pretty light bike considering the build. It has a complete XT build, Talas RC2, Hope Pro II with Stan's Flow rims. It would be really easy to take another lb off this rig!

[1996cc]

is it just me or does the scale say 29.74??

[other aardvark]

Anything under 30 is pretty amazing but how strong are those Flow wheels???

[cup]

omg, am really tempted to get the nomad over the heckler. but the price is so steep. thang, can only admire these work of art in pictures.

[krolik]

I wonder how will the XL look like. It is soo frustrating to see all those PC running when you've ordered your ano:/ Friend of mine just received a confirmation his red pc is ready for pickup:/
At least there is no ano anywhere in the world

ahaha



These builds and weights are amazing. I am completely sold on one for this season, crazy to have such a capable bike so light.

[dirtbiker]

bbbbking, that is one sweet looking bike. I have always been a fan of the white frames and the white forks really set the tone.

Is that a painted frame thats been stripped and polished. If so how much work was needed. I'm liking that finish.
