At the 2006 Interbike, I saw an all white bike. Mountain Cycle, I believe. That got me going on a white Santa Cruz Nomad as the new testbed for mtbr.com.
The Nomad is beautiful and verstatile bike. It’s shape was definitely carved by and artist. And its trail abilities seems very, very broad. I’ve ridden with guys that just fly up a hill on a Nomad and I’ve seen others scream downhill and do some impressive technical trails.
So we had to check out the bike. And yeah, let’s expirement with some cool new parts too along the way.

Is this bad-to-the-bone ride for sale?

Please Help! I’m trying to build a Nomad with a RaceFace Evolve DH triple crankset and am having big time issues. Conflicting and less than helpful info from Santa Cruz and RaceFace tech support. Recommended install instruction for 50mm chainline doesn’t work for Nomad according to RaceFace but instead of telling me proper spacer placement for bottom bracket, RaceFace says any good mechanic can make it work. I think this is kind of a cop-out. Any chance I can get details of your bottom bracket/crankset install?
