[Closed] My New Nomad

Very nice, looks like your putting it to good use 8)

I believe my stealth black nomad enjoys those very same trails....

That's very nice. I would have drawn the line at matching grips and brakes, but each to their own.

My OCD is very upset about the orange clutch button on the rear mech. Otherwise, very nice indeed 🙂

That's really nice except for the hideous purple bits. There I said it 😛

That's very nice.

Nice... apart from the purple. Different strokes, different folks etc etc.

plus one great bike - purple must be a acquired taste 🙂

look out for the ones from the article on the front page dude, building in the woods, mtb'ing before its dry and other such trail crimes from the opinionated we know best brigade

I love the purple. Are you bipolar?

camerone. How do you find the pedal strikes?

I was unsure about the purple grips. Glad I did now though as I really like them. Got too many bikes with boring black grips.

Really nice, don't think I'm too much of a bike breaker to have something this nice.

That is lovely, bb does not look that low to me on the pics.

Awesome looking bike 🙂
Where's the riding spot?

Pedal strikes are an issue, but you'll get used to them. What I mean is you will adapt quickly and stop doing it so often...Try to get used to it before bunging more air in the can- well sagged works better in my opinion...

Nice bike, stand let's it down though. You spent all that money on decent gear and skimp on the stand??
Where's those woods/trails?

Very nice.

Nice. Purple too.

A little bit of sex wee just came out 😳

[b]Gorgeous!!![/b] 😀

Awesome looking bike, the PURPLE makes it

That's a stunner. Love the stealth x purple look.

Thank you for not getting Enve rims with purple logos.

Thats lovely that is. Jealous

Ohhh did you have to! Looks fantastic!

Sexual indeed needs slik graphics matching 36 decals though to finish it off!

Love the hope purple bits and black it looks ace just get them forks decals sorted from slik and it will literally be perfect

Love it.

waaaay too much purple, but you've crossed over from crass to genius.

chapeau.

Very swish!

Pity the same can't be said for the dead sailor wearing the bright blue t shirt and fluorescent crash helmet. 😀

Nice

Very very nice! Pedal strikes show you how close it hugs the terrain 8)

Nice. Looks like a nice spot to ride as well.

Looks great!

Thank you for not getting Enve rims with purple logos.

A flying bike...........cool! I've always wanted one of those since I saw ET.

Looks brill, purple is great! /shows age

Very nice indeed but you really do need to strip down the mech,take out the lever,book it in for re-anodizing,post it off recorded delivery(with a jockey wheel for perfect match),wait for a week and rebuild clutch to make it perfect.
Just saying like... 😆
Or give hope a call.Biscuits work well iv'e found with them..

Very nice, slightly overboard on the purple and those fork graphics don't go.

I'd still take it though.

First Nomad I've seen that I really like.

But I am mentally blacking out the yellow fork decal.

Quantity of purple is spot-on IMO.

Thanks for all the comments. The forks are only temporary until I get some new 36's. I have put some more miles on it since posting and I'm more pleased with it every time I ride it. I could pretty much get rid of all my other bikes (excluding road bike and commuter) and this would do everything I want and more.
I always new the purple would divide opinion but i really like it. I'm wondering if I could actually get the clutch mech switch anodised purple now. I have a broken mech that I could get the switch off.

That looks really nice!

I am regretting buying a medium nomad now after trying a large last week. Right on the borderline at 5'9" and should have gone with my instinct.

I was worried about the size as I had to buy without a test ride. I had to base my decision on my chameleon being a large and fitting perfectly but the large Branson I demo'd was far too small and has the reputation of being too small for the given size.

I meant bronson above not Branson. I have never ridden Branson.

Awesome bike, however too many purple bro.

I'm wondering if I could actually get the clutch mech switch anodised purple now.

Either you don't have kids or you've got a very severe case of OCD.

Out if interest how tall are you? Cheers

I'm 5'11" with long arms. I was going to try a 50mm stem but the 70 feels perfect.

I think I might have bike OCD

Here's my chameleon

Now all I can look at on that Chameleon is the clutch mech lever.

🙁

It matches the fork coating!

Pretty sure I saw you in the shop today mate- I've got a blue one. Like the black and purple though. Love the chameleon too!
