Santa cruz Nomad c, no compromise build.
8/25/2015 10:43am
purple and blue vinyl is transparent, black decals are the originals.
before finishing the vinyl
Hope didn't do purple when i started building it, it had to be done.
Hope bash guard and a front mech!
cheap Chinese rainbow
ti top cap.
as it is now, more vinyl
superstar floating rotor with purple and gold ti rotor bolts
why i like a front mech, 11-25 and i still hardly ever use my 26t granny. i'll never go back to a standard mtb cassette.
purple and blue vinyl is transparent, black decals are the originals.

Additional Info
the only compromise is the front hub, one day i'll find a cheap enough King. im happy with the forks and ive got no interest in droppers, slightly bigger wheels, 142 rear bolt through or going 1X.
i wouldn't buy a new nomad because you can't put a front mech on them.
i did the custom vinyl job, i don't like white, when its warranty runs out i'll do it in paint.
