Thats one sweet-ass bike. I would put some wider bars on myself though. 720-750mm

seraph (Aug 17, 2010 at 5:07)

No one makes a sub 200g bar in anything over 660mm.

tom666 (Aug 17, 2010 at 12:11)

Yeah but its worth 100g for better performance and feel.

seraph (Aug 17, 2010 at 12:51)

Not to me.

tom666 (Aug 17, 2010 at 13:04)

I don't undertsand why you would sacrafice performance for weight.

seraph (Aug 17, 2010 at 13:08)

Then you'll never understand why I choose a lot of the parts that I choose.

Honestly I've never really found the need for anything over 660mm wide. Race Face does make a Next SL carbon bar in a 3/4 inch rise that is 660mm wide, so I may pick those up, but they're quite expensive.

tom666 (Aug 17, 2010 at 13:14)

I undertsand most of the spec. For example there is no point in having a heavy seatpost but when a few grams means you have more leverage, control and stability I don't see why you wouldn't accept those few extra grams and reap the benefits.

seraph (Aug 17, 2010 at 13:16)

The seatpost is moot actually, since I have a Specialized Command Post on there right now. Honestly I feel really weird on wide bars. I'm so used to riding narrow handlebars that anything over 660mm feels really awkward to me. On my hardtails I usually cut my bars to around 580mm.

tom666 (Aug 17, 2010 at 13:23)

ok fair enough. I used to run narrow bars a long time ago and disliked it muchly. Each to there own I guess.

Seraph, it's all about the Edge composite bar. Git sum!

seraph (Oct 6, 2010 at 10:34)

Maybe. The Edge bars are about $20 more than the Race Face, and the latter has gold accents.

Rattsl (Oct 6, 2010 at 10:35)

Seraph, you hatin. Your bike has some white accents on there that I can see, the Edge bars will make you over 67% faster, I know this because I did it.

Either way, I don't have that kind of money to spend on the Nomad right now. I'm still paying it off.

Rattsl (Oct 6, 2010 at 10:55)

Hahahaa, really? Damn, I guess. I'm still paying for my Wanga and kinda sorta for my Stumpy (Which is f*cking awesome)

Easton Haven Carbons anyone? 711mm, 170grams... what more could u ask for? Just ordered my Nomad C today! will post pics during its build!

seraph (Feb 17, 2011 at 14:45)

1.) They weren't available when I was building this bike; 2.) I don't have this bike anymore.

donnyf1 (Feb 18, 2011 at 11:08)

Mind me asking why you dont have it anymore?! please dont tell me its because the way it rides after buying one yesterday!

Rattsl (Feb 18, 2011 at 11:09)

He needed money or something.

tom666 (Feb 18, 2011 at 11:48)

and that bike is worth a lot of money.

seraph (Feb 18, 2011 at 12:23)

I sold it because I needed to pay off some bills incurred after I purchased said bicycle. There will always be more bikes.

tom666 (Feb 18, 2011 at 12:26)

and there will always be more bills to pay for said bikes.

seraph (Feb 18, 2011 at 12:28)

Most of the money on the bill was not because of the Nomad C. I have had expensive bikes before. Working in a bike shop helps.
