looks good to me except for the purple levers. whats up with people trying to make purple work with tan nomads?
well, in theory it should work. It's the exact opposite colour of the frame. Just need to get some more purple components on there and I'll be rocking

It looks great, purple definitely goes with tan. People may not like purple, but oh well!

The orange looks amazing, the green on the grips/saddle not so much. I like it.

Better than purple yes, but it still doesn't look good IMO. I would've gone all black, this way, the frame stands out more.

Had my 5010cc XL for a while now and upgraded the shock to a X2 unit and has completely changed the ride was getting pretty tired of the under performing fox float shock it came with.

Looking at getting a 19 Bronson, coming from a 16 Patrol, anyone had time on both?
I'm hoping the Bronson is a bit nimbler, Patrol was a crusher.

havent ridden a patrol but ridden other transitions as well as the 19 bronson.
transition felt like a dead fish. geometry was too long/slack to be flickable and the suspension was just weird feeling, at least with the dpx2. didnt respond well to repeated small hits but didnt feel like it had a lot of support in the mid stroke either. might feel better with a coil.

bronson felt awesome. corners like a fighter jet, climbs really damn well, i didnt touch the shock the entire ride over about 20 miles. Not as fast as my hightower, and not as supple as the nomad, but it jumps like a flea and is really easy to whip around. didnt flinch on steep trails either, hides its long wheelbase and slack hta well until you want it there. lets just say i got real close to buying a 19 bronson until surprise expenses came about.
