Problem solved.
Solution, there are always tradeoffs, so keep the nomad but beef if up for resort riding and build up a more trail oriented TRc or LTc.

If all goes well, I will have a Blur XCC to a TB(My first 29er) and I feel like its a better Blur XCC!
IMO it climbs the tech stuff in the bike not on top ....
I'm currently riding a "classic" Blur.
Designed 26er handles like a bike.

The age old question- to wait or not to wait?

Question is do i hold off selling the Alu and wait to see what changes there are (if any) for 2012? Will...

The Nomad is an All time if there is less than rumors....
Still baffled that SC's has changed the lower link for the TR but not the nomad whichI can't see why they would have a 2 option link for DH and a link for XC/trail.
Of the blur tr.

Ever since I saw my first raw Intense frame I knew I wanted my Nomad stripped down to the bare aluminum. After a snowy ride in Downieville last year I decided it was time to replace on my bearings and what better time to strip her down than when she's...

What Ive found so far:

- Raw finish
- 142 x 12 rear axle I like my Blur LT2 enough....
Time for me to look for other brands then.
I was hoping they would adopt that, but since the blur update didn't bring that I'm not expecting it to come to Nomad either.

I am in the market for another 26" bike as I miss my old BLTc. I have a 2010 Niner RIP 9 size medium that I am looking to see if anyone with a medium carbon Nomad or Blur LT would want to trade. The bike has less than 200 miles on it and is in excellent...

Getting rid of my Specialized FSR Stumpjumper elite 2011... which one from above is the better all around bike. I'm not doing any down hills but I do travel. Just need a jack of all trades. I don't like the feel of the Stumpy so the search is on.

I'm looking for a new bike and am fairly certain it's going to be a 2012 Blur LT with the R AM kit. It fits my riding style and seems to be a good deal for the money. Has anyone ridden the new Blur, and is there any real difference in geometry or materials...

In going from the LT to a nomad, I am a little worried I'm going to lose some "fun factor and hard with a lower bb.
I wish I could to 150.
I'm going to sell it soon for a nomad.
I also wish the top tube was a bit longer .
