Is that a hole in the skirting board behind the rear wheel?

Only thing that bugs me is, you need to loosen the rear banjo on the caliper and rotate it down so it looks neater. Front could do with the same tweak but not as bad.

I love my Nomad does everything i could want, only just treated it to the XX1 treatment. Enjoy yours.

Heading out to adjust the banjos now!! It does look like a willy I agree. It's chained to a running machine in a upstairs bedroom. Scumbags aren't having this!!

Something doesn't look quite right though and I can't put my finger on it

You could if you put your hand under the nose of the saddle. Needs a remote....

Nice apart from that!

9.5/10
Not far off my dream spec that - only missing a granny ring!
Good choice of forks/frame and dropper post - Supernaturals are the best, and hard to find any dropper without a cable these days.

1/10

Tyre logos all over the place
White spoke positioning sub optimal for photo
Crank positioning sub optimal for photo
Rear sprocket / mech position sub optimal for photo
Kashima shock and non Kashima forks?! - sweet jebus!

This - something is not right, but I don't know what, seat down maybe?

Lovely bike though, I'd love a Nomad but I'm poor.

Lovely build, Bet it rides amazingly well down the hills! I envy you!

Id have black rims & a plain saddle myself like ๐Ÿ˜‰

Comment on not looking quite right, he obviously a Tall guy & its a big Bike, plus saddly is dropped just makes angles look a bit funny! same problem for all 'Big' Bikes.

Cheers for the comments guys. I've only ridden it briefly but going to UK bike park this weekend. It'll spend most of its life doing uplift days and a few weeks in the Alps. Sorry about the 2 pics, I copied and pasted the incorrect photo on the second one.

Around a third to half a stop in the exposure?
