Aluminum Santa Cruz Nomad, size medium frame, built up with a never used Kashima coated front Fox Air Shock, with TALUS adjustable travel fork, from 120mm to 160mm (so you can drop the nose to climb and then pop it open to come down), along with a never used 140 mm kashima coated Fox rear shock. New XT shifter, new XT cassette, new XT derailleur, new XT chain, 11 speed system/drive train. Additionally, a new XT brake set was installed a four piston in the front with a 180 mm rotor and a two piston in the rear with a 160 mm rotor. Wheelset is a used Mavic Cross Max SL (I have an extra front wheel). I put over $2,000 building this bike up a year ago and it has sat in my garage. I am losing a lot of money at $1550, so spare me the it's an old bike argument. It is an older frame, without cracks or dents (has some very small blemishes and scratches), with brand new XT components on it, and kashima-coated new Fox fork and rear shocks. Clean Race Face carbon Next R cranks and new carbon race face Next R carbon bars with a turbine stem with a clean used set of race face carbon cranks, along with a new race face Bottom bracket. If you're a smaller rider looking for a very high quality adjustable all-mountain style bike, this is a fraction of the price of new bikes with much lower level components. this could be a great deal for you. The smaller 26-in Wheels accelerate faster and are easier to get around through technical terrain on, so if you're a smaller Rider and or newer, this can be a great way to go, that's a lot of fun to ride. I do have a separate listing of this bike's big brother, a Santa Cruz bullet that's a super clean like mew frame. I built up with new Kashima coated fox fork and rear shock with turbine, cranks, stem and bars along with a DT Swiss wheel set and all new xt 11 speed drivetrain and new XT brakes, a Four piston with a 180mm rotor in the front and a two piston with a 160mm rotor in the back; like this nomad, but slacker geometry with more travel, 180 mm of travel instead of 160mm like nomad, so little bit more of a shuttle bike but you can still drop the front end with these adjustable talis shocks and climb fairly easily. Then open them up back to the big positions 160mm on the nomad 180mm on the bullit and have a lot of fun coming down. I will sell both of them for $2200 as a package deal (the last couple of pictures show both bikes together. The nomad is 160 in the front with 140 in the back whereas the bullet is 180 in the front with 160 in the back rear shock with a little bit slacker geometry. The nomad will climb a little better, the bullet will be a little funner with more travel coming down, but again they both have adjustable travel on the front to shrink the front end down to make it easier to climb.
