Alright, so I sold my Trance X to get something slightly burlier. Originally I was going to get a Nomad, but Santa Cruz is out of frames until the end of July and I do not want to wait a month and a half to get a bike. In which case I am looking for something that is similar, but I would like to stay with a smaller company such as Ibis, Intense, Yeti, etc. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other smaller companies out there that make a bike similar to the Nomad.
