Been around long enough to apreciate the quality that goes into Yeti and Santacruz frames. Having ridden top end specialised and trek frames on test days- The one ride I ever had on an old Yeti will not change that opinion. Well made frames that work and the Kudos of having such a top end frame will be worth it.

the nomad has gotten rave reveiws by practially everyone to be a great trail/all mountain bike. i would have to say the nomad. i am liking the fox dhx on the nomad frame too its supposed to be a great shock. but the sx trail is also a pretty sweet bike.

I know where you can get 3 Jamis Dakar XLT 20th Anniversary 5" travel frames with integrated headsets. Cheap, cheap. Hint, hint.
If you can afford a Nomad, I would do it. It sounds like the greatest thing out there.
