my nomad cc, running 1x11 xo, pikes, monarch plus, easton haven 800 carbon bar, havoc stem, reverb stealth, wtb i23s and some nice colour coding

love the bike, amazing to ride, so light as well. I ran this side by side with a canyon strive 26inch (so very similar geo, travel, only a couple of lbs heavier) and the santa cruz just is faster everywhere.. well worth the investment :)

    Very tidy.

    How do you find tuning the Monarch Plus to the Nomad - I run one on my Bronson and need to play with it a little more.

    Nice to see a Santa Cruz which doesn't have a colour scheme inspired by 1980's shell suits!
    Looking very nice!

    I run 4 bands in the positive air chamber and 5 - 6 clicks rebound out from full slow. Sag is 37 - 40mm but this is probably a bit irrelevant for your Bronson.

    Quick question, where did you get the rim decals form or were they standard fit?

    Very clean looking, looks perfect!

    Lovely build, well worth the investment :D:mrgreen: ... I demo'd almost the exact same spec bike a few months ago and really loved it, an amazing all-rounder.

    What size of frame did you go for, and whats your height?
