I have many bikes.

Including a Nomad…..

Doesn’t stop it being ugly though.

Just shows how easy it is to miss judge folks you’ve never met doesn’t it? 😉

MrNutt there was someone on this forum who was posting from a hospital bed and posted a vid up of the crash. it was a drop from a section of north shore where it looked like he nipped the front brake on landing and jacked over the bars. maybe it was because you’re called MrNutt? i did think that guy was a bit nuts! nobody will guess from my username that i used to be called oneyedwilly. OOps! 😉

singlespeedstu you are very right 🙂

Just for you then you oneyedwilly.

Here’s my fugly dog taking a dump. 😉
Now with different wheels and seat.

I like your nomad stu, Its that jones thing I cant stand. Turns pc off and never looks at singletrack again 🙂

did you take the pic infront of the hedge intentionally so that it would blend in and people wouldn’t notice how fugly it was?

ah I remember that, wasn’t it both wrists? looked bloody painful but the legend that he is had that picture of him in hospital grinning with his wrists and some agonizing looking angle, nah that wasn’t me but that was nuts!! 😀

The Swede.
There’s no accounting for taste. 😉

Here’s some pics of it in action for you then.

It takes more than a similar coloured hedge to disguise the fuglyness. 😆

She’s a bute stu. I had a quick mince on her at the peaks a while back. Would have liked to come on that Scottish trip but struggled to get time off.

Ps I love the jones, its just the bars n forks I couldn’t live with but thats jones I suppose.

That’s right MrNutt! i thought that was you, wonder if he’s recovered yet? what a ledge.

I’ve tried a Nomad though, thought it was overweight & totally unsuitable for the UK (unless you do Fort Bill every week) but if you like it that your prerogative.

Unsuitable for the UK? Depends on the rider and what sort riding you do.
XC mincer and trail centre visitor, not the ideal bike for that, But then I’m sure that the very same people on hugely heavy hardtails might be on unsuitable bikes too!?
I don’t know why you think the Nomad is such a suitable bike for Fort Bill every week? It wouldn’t be my choice if I was visiting the place on a weekly basis.

I found it to slack for anything other than DH.

Slack! Really! There are a lot of bikes running 67 degree head angles at the moment, not just "all mountain" bikes, but lots of hardtails too. 67 degrees is in fact, a pretty good choice for all day usage.

bomberman, it was dasnut who crashed and burned.

nutt…zero’s is ugly

ssstu, i hate 29rs

and all my bikes are fugly. 8)

When’s your new un comming then ton?

2 weeks, just building my kit for it.

reba 29r 120mm 20mm boltthru
kris holm on dmr hubs
middleburn crankset
thomson post/stem
and a slx groupo, but fancy some differant brakes.

I would like to see an 09 nomad with chain device and bash.

My mates VP free has the E13 protruding below the bash guard and constantly hits the chain device.

The new nomad looks like the pivot is below the bash guard and will be even worse when a chain device is fitted!!!

Bit of an oversight for such and expensive frame.
