Santa Cruz Nomad time-lapse bike build

[clgrnt]

Interested in ordering one of these, but still hesitant as to how durable it'll be for a few seasons of shuttle runs.

[nabulidoy]

i like the color, simple body design, nice parts. how much did you spent building it? ::))..thanks.

[karmaisafunnything]

@nabulidoy I think between $3000~$3200. Thanks for your comment!

[TaufanDermawan]

Love this frame.. :D

[karmaisafunnything]

Thanks! The wheels and hubs are Azonic Outlaws. Very reliable and reasonably light, plus they look sweet! Saint brakes may be an option in the future, but the Elixer CR's are working fine for me right now. Thanks for your comments!

[SWEENYFIREBLADE]

@karmaisafunnything great vid just about to build mine so helps a little, have you down hilled it yet?

[karmaisafunnything]

@SWEENYFIREBLADE Oh yeah! Really pleased with it's downhill performance, whether it's short course local stuff or bigger bike park courses. You wont be disappointed!

[lexugax]

Really nice. What rims/hubs are those?

Why not shimano saint brakes?

Cheers!

[mani1258]

This bike is so sick! i really like the colors you chose.

[karmaisafunnything]

@mani1258 Thanks a lot!

[ridefree888]

nice bike......nice color combinations.....got a SC BLT and thinking of upgrading to nomad too.....ur set up is 1x10? how was is on the climb? anyway enjoy your bike....really nice....

[karmaisafunnything]

@ridefree888 Cheers, man! Glad you like my Nomad. I run a standard 1x9 and that does me fine. The bike climbs really well. I was shocked the first time I rode it up hill after riding my single pivot Bullit for five years. This thing flies both up and down! I highly recommend it!!!

[chenshiwei]

treasure that bike! =)

[karmaisafunnything]

@chenshiwei Will do!

[SuperMrgolf]

[hiroyopoetker]

Stupendous video mate!! This is a true dream bike will oodles of beautiful parts!

How do you like the super wide bars, I have been pondering about them for a while now!!

Yes all my videos are in Japan!!

Please randomly look through my videos when you have the time!

RideOn bro!

[gundam395]

Im thinking about getting a santa cruz chameleon with a rockshox pike 454 140mm.

Will be good for freeriding?

[karmaisafunnything]

@gundam395 It's a great bike, and a lot of fun, but it's not for free riding.

[fvenegas9ine]

Very nice build. Thinking of getting the Nomad as well. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Moving away from a SX Trail that I've owned for about 4yrs now.

Many thanks in advance.

[karmaisafunnything]

@fvenegas9ine Thanks for the positive feedback! If you need a bike that you can ride EVERY day, ride it TO the trail head, the drop the saddle and rip the DH, the Nomad is the way to go! If I had to choose one bike, this would be it ( with a second wheel set and tire set up). As it says on the box, it will do it all, and in my experience, do it all very well! I'm a big guy, and use it mainly for DH and it totally rips.

Sorry, I don't have any time on an SX Trail, but the Nomad won't disappoint.

[fvenegas9ine]

@karmaisafunnything Thank you for the response! I think I'm gonna go-head with the Nomad as my next build.

~ Enjoy the ride.

[gundam395]

is yours a 140mm travel fork?

[karmaisafunnything]

@gundam395 It's a 160mm Fox Float RC2.

[j0hnbass1]

@wiredbikeproductions Cheers man! Thanks for the feedback.

[karmaisafunnything]

@mazgorg Thanks very much!

[RedmondR32]

Great video.  I just picked up my 2010 Nomad (White with Black rear triangle) and am ordering the rest of my parts for my build. I went with the coil Fox rear shock. Am also doing the Fox Fork (Talus 36) and Avid brakes. You did a great job capturing your build and the angles are pretty comprehensive. Nice Work!

[karmaisafunnything]

@RedmondR32

Thanks for the great feedback! You won't be disappointed with your Nomad, I love mine already. They are truly great bikes at pretty much everything, trail riding through to DH.

[HiruMihnea]

Best bike build ! Bike looks really good and it has top notch components...

How much money and time did it take to be built ?

[karmaisafunnything]

@HiruMihnea It only took a total of about three hours to complete the build, which was done over two evenings. I put about $3500 into this bike, but I got some really amazing online deals that kept the price down. I'm glad you like the bike and thanks for your comments!

[daroru]

Blast! You forgot the basket!

[karmaisafunnything]

@daroru The basket, bar mounted rear view mirrors and huge pitchers mit like hand warmers will come in part 2! Thanks D.

[spevna]

[karmaisafunnything]

@spevna She certainly is, sir! Thanks for the feedback!
