Collected my Nomad 650B frame yesterday and got her ready for the maiden ride tonight. Cannot wait to see what its like compared to my old Bronson C 🙂

Bit understated for me.
Not keen on the 'stealth' look.

Meh, I looked at a black one, but everyone is doing stealth black these days and they all just look boring.

Bright and bold is where its at!

Someone needs to start painting bikes the colours Fat Chance and Klein used to use, aqua fade, harlequin, gator fade, rain forest etc.

I think it looks great.

I've got a boring black bike and I wished mine looked like that.

Enjoy it!

It's that bright that when I look away from my screen I can still see your bike. You owe me new retinas.

Applying gender to an inanimate object is really really naff.

L'application de l'égalité à un objet inanimé est vraiment très ringard.

Awesome bike, it wouldn't be my colour choice but then it's not my bike.

If it's inanimate, you need to see a doctor 😉

Bloody good looking bike that. I'm normally of the stealth persuasion me but hey, bring that bike down a hill or two I say..

Proper, and you are right we need more 90's Fat Chance/Klein paint jobbies.

Go get it filthy 😀

So bright no one has commented on the state of the daffs. Time to nip those old flower heads off.

Comparison with the bronson? Also what is the weight that must be around 28lbs or so?

Nice btw. I have seen one in the wild and the colours are a little less garish

Yay for colour back, and bigger yay for Alex-Simons colour phtoshoppage.

Pleeeease can manufacturers start making fades, splatters and flecky holographic metallics again?

Get some hot rod/chopper colours on the go like candy apple red pearlesent etc. It is kinda disappointing how limited you are with regards to MTB colours, often only getting certain colours on a certain spec etc.
