Nomad V4

Staunch

Eats Squid
It's a sad day when you realise you can't justify owning a DH race bike anymore. In an attempt to convince myself I'm not fully washed up yet, I sold both my bikes to build up one do-it-all rig. This way I can pretend that I'll still ride proper steep, gnarly tracks, when in reality I'll just be going out to pedal around and talk shit with mates instead.



2020 Santa Cruz Nomad V4 XL w/ 2019 Fox Float X2 Factory
2020 170mm Fox 36s w/ 2021 Grip2 damper
Shimano XT M8120s + SRAM Centrelink rotors
SRAM Stylo cranks + Straightline Defacto pedals
Thomson 50mm stem + Deity Blacklabel bars + ODI ruffians
Bikeyoke Revive 215mm dropper + WTB saddle
SRAM GX 12spd drivetrain
Raceface ARC30s on DT Swiss 370s w/ Minion F + DHR




As much I wanted to change out the stock wheelset and a couple other things, I also was sick of seeing it half finished in my garage. I'm sure I'll keep chopping and changing bits as I go. Special thanks to @beeb for the Kashima CSU to have the forks match the shock. Now I just have to ride the damn thing regularly.
