Santa Cruz Nomad 650b build

My Santa Cruz Bronson has gone to pastures new and I have bought a new Nomad to replace it, oh and a Solo/5010C as well :oops:
I loved the Bronson I really did, its a great bike, does everything well and I never tired of riding it. Then the Nomad came out and I thought I fancied one but it was so close to the Bronson there was no point unless I sold the Bronson, but then I'd be short of a full suspension bike for general use, so I decided to buy a Solo C too.
Anyhow enough of that. Here is the spec, the frame is due mid to end of June, I cannot bloody wait!
Nomad 650b,
Monarch Debonair shock,
Pike 160mm forks (until I can get a new 36
),
Reverb seatpost 150mm,
Fizik Gobi carbon saddle,
Easton Haven stem,
ENVE DH bars,
ENVE AM rims,
DT240S hubs,
XX1 Cassette,
XX1 Rear mech,
XX1 Chain,
XX1 Trigger shifter,
Race Face Next SL 2014 chainset,
36 tooth Race Face chainring,
Easton lock-on grips,
Maxxis HR II tyres,
XTR M988 Trail brakes,
200mm ice tech front rotor,
180mm ice tech rear rotor,
Invisiframe frame protection.
As people will see almost everything is getting carried over from my Bronson with a few minor changes.
Got these few bits and changed the fork over tonight:
Out with the old and in with the new:

As little as possible and still draw a wage!
If its any consolation the Solo is not going on Enve's, I'm about to order some Light Bike rims for it. Ive sat and juggled prices and I just cannot justify a set of Seventy30's for this to move these onto a Solo.
The only consideration is do I get them to build them or do I just buy rims, I'm thinking just rims tbh and have them built here.
Don't believe that for one minute! Successful people have many attributes but they're rarely lazy
Nice bikes, you're a lucky boy

Rick, as you're always so secretive about your job we can only assume that you must be a spy or a hitman, for the following reasons:
1. You always ride around on the blingingest kit available, so you must be freelance as the British Government probably don't pay their spies that well :-) CIA perhaps?
2. You tend to fly off around the world at the drop of a hat. You must have a humongous amount of airmiles.
You make the rest of us look inadequate but hats off to you for keeping us safe :-)

I'm always flying off around the World as I work for a large UK based airline!

It certainly would :-) Maybe that's his cover story though....

Trolley dolly... knew it.
Can't wait to see your new build, it's going to be amazing for sure!
It was not through choice! Said airline closed where I worked down and it was a case of leave or go to another base in the UK as crew. I chose the latter

I'm using them as they offered me a great deal on the two frames, plus the invisiframe dude is right on the doorstep so they can drop them in to have it fitted and then pick them up
As for the colour, there is only one colour worth getting one in :oops:

It's the subtle differences that make them stand out from the crowd that little bit more, otherwise, sexyyy.

I have no idea what's going on here.
The Pikes are destined for the Solo so I decided to go with decals that looked good on the pictures rather than mess around experimenting. This will be getting some 36's, hopefully I can track down a set in America next month
