Hey folks,

I have been waiting a while to sell my Nomad to fund sus forks for my Solaris, but on Thursday afternoon it happened.

My build is now complete, well almost - clearly need to shorten Reverb and brake hoses! also waiting on a 120mm cartridge for my Revelations (10.12.12)

Itching to try it out, hoping to hit Glentress soon - my pregnant wife was due to give birth to our second on 12.11.12, but nothing yet, so a mtb trip is sadly off the cards just now.

Looks good. I swapped mine to 1x9 last week and think that upping the travel to 120 is probably the next step...

New bike + new born - the road to frustration.

Hope the wee bairn's as nice looking as that bike!

Love it. That green looks great.

Mine is a very similar build. Still not ridden mine yet though 😡

Do you have a weight?

love it, fully approve. White rims might have looked really nice with that, and been 15% faster, but that looks like a proper fun bike. Top Job!
