Hi. Up for sale is my 2016 Santa Cruz Nomad mk3 size medium in black. If you're looking at this ad I don't need to tell you how good these bikes are, so I won't!!! (But they are!!) I'm only selling the bike as I'm just not getting to ride it at the moment due to work and family commitments, and I can't justify keeping it to ride once every couple of months 
The bike has just had a full service of everything including all suspension, brakes, and gears, so it seems a good time to sell it - for my peace of mind and yours, knowing it won't need anything doing for the foreseeable. I have ridden the bike once since all the servicing and couldn't quite get the gears spot on (although they shift perfectly on the stand), so I have ordered a new XT rear derailleur which will be included in the sale, along with the XTR which is fitted and working - just not quite right.
The bike comes with a carbon downtube frame protector and has been invisiframed from new, so the frame is in fantastic condition with the protection having done it's job brilliantly. There is a small chip on the swing arm which has sadly gone through the invisiframe, but that's the only one, and it isn’t bad. Apart from that the frame is pretty much spotless.
The bike also comes with a grease kit, and full replacement bearing kit including the bearing fitting tools, and a spare derailleur hanger too. I was going to do this job after this winter as the bearings felt smooth when the shock was out being serviced.
I can box the frame up safely and post if desired, or it can be collected/inspected in Daventry, Northants.
SPEC
2016 Santa Cruz Nomad frame with carbon down tube frame protector. Comes with full spare set of bearings and derailleur hanger. I'm sure I've got the manual for it somewhere too.
2017 Rock Shox Pike RCT3 160mm forks - Fully serviced including all internals. Come with the manual and spare volume spacers.
Rock Shox Vivid Air rear shock. Just serviced at Plush suspension where it had a new body fitted as there was a tiny scratch on the stanchion.
Shimano Xtr shifters and derailleur (plus replacement XT derailleur), XT chain (new), Raceface cranks, Blackspire Snaggletooth 32t chainring (new). All drivetrain just been fully serviced, new cable (and outer), chain, chainring etc.
Shimano ZEE brakes with Ice Tech rotors. 203mm front and 180mm rear. Just been fully serviced with all new fluid. Amazing brakes! Very powerful and controllable.
Rock Shox 150mm Reverb Stealth dropper post. Fluid just been changed
Chris King headset
Hope bottom bracket
SRAM Rail 50 wheelset
Specialised Butcher 2.6 front tyre. 1 ride old
Schwalbe Rock Razor rear tyre. Could swap this for a Specialised Purgatory rear which is 1 ride old if preferred.
Easton Haven stem
Rental Fatbar Lite handlebar
Rental grips (grey)
Specialised Henge saddle
I think that just about covers it. The bike really is in great condition. And you are more than welcome to come and view it in Daventry, or I can safely package and post it (at cost) to anyone who is too far away.
I can send photos to anyone who is interested, and will upload some when I figure out how to lower the photo quality.
Pedals not included
Thanks for looking, Sergio
