I just discovered this section after spending most of my time on Vintage BMX Talk.

Thought I'd show my recent upgrade . . .

The rear tire has been changed to a 2.35 Maxxis Ignitor since these shots.

Yes, she gets dirty. I have a cool girlfriend that washes and then finger polishes her after every ride. Nope, she's not from around your neck of the woods. She's Thai.

quite possibly the sickes bike I have ever seen...

dear god. that has to be over 6k...whew...

It's most definitely the sickest bike I have ever ridden!

Thweet! Now let's see some pics of that bike going down something.

awesome bike. i definitely need an upgrade

yeah, that is my dream MTB! did you see the June issue of Mountain Bike Action magazine? The Nomad was the top frame chosen for the Ultimate Trail bike in a survey. Actually it looks like you have a few of the top parts chosen on the survey. The chrome looks killer, I'm assuming you had those rims laced with the blue hubs? as well as the other tricked out blue parts were added on purpose...Alright, how does she ride?

Everything - everything on that bike was personally chosen by myself. It's had some minor changes since these pics. Will be upgrading to Ti coild rear and new coil forks soon.

Pics and mini-movie coming soon . . .

That is super nice Martin, I am toying with the idea of a new MTB and can get Santa Cruz at a decent price, I have owned a Superlight nad one of the 5" travel Hecklers before but am worried about the height of the toptube on the Nomad at the front,have you had any problems??
DINGO

The Nomad's are sweet. I currently have a Heckler and have been wanting a Nomad since they came out, oh yeah, polished will be the only way I will go too.

sick, I saw that in the June MTBA also. You're a lucky man

Dingo,

No problem with the top tube at all.

This bike just feels lighter and lighter the more I ride it. Climbing is incredible. I still gasp out aloud on trails with it. It feels lighter than my XC ride. Geometry is spot on.

Thanks for the reply Martin,
I have been given a Santa Cruz Blur frame to ride and I am really enjoying it, it feels like a big BMX to me, I am just trying to get used to the pedalling action of the VPP back end.
If I like it I am considering a Nomad,If not maybe a Cove Hustler???
DINGO
