2009 SC Nomad
Not one to hold back when times call for action I followed through on my Lazy Stimulus promise and reinvested the proceeds from my Challenge Fujin SL into a new bike. The Santa Cruz Nomad has been one of my dream bikes for years, but I just couldn’t bring myself to feel worthy of such a fine bike and spend the $$$. Well I’m turning 40, going on a 4 week MTB trip and have some $$$ from a selling a bike so I figured there was never going to be a better time. Getting a smoking deal from Bow Cycle and Kurt buying his own Nomad didn’t hurt either!….=-)
My Nomad is spec’d as pictured above with:
I used to own a Santa Cruz Heckler until it was stolen…=-(….so it feels nice to return to the Santa Cruz family…=-)
I have the previous generation nomad and absolutely love it… After riding my dummy or lht for a while, I really surprise myself when I go for a nice mountain ride on the Nomad. It blows my mind how fast I can go downhill.
Here’s mine in Downiville, CA.
What color did you get?
Hi Mike….I got a white Nomad like the image in my post. Your bike is nice…=-)
Vik, somewhere along the way i missed your website redux, but it’s fantastic. Looks great!
I was discussing my LHT today with someone and failed to remember where I fetched the Nitto Randos, but now I’m thinking it was from you. Thanks, I love ’em. Keep rolling with this excellent site.
What another toy Vik? Boy, I have a lot of catching up to do!!! Happy bday brother.
