So, I guess we need to pick another reason for you to anonymously bash someone else's taste in bikes/aesthetics.

You know griffin you've been riding a long time. I would have thought you'd appreciate how far the lowly xt group has come. Some of us aren't wrenchers for life so if we have to replace something xt will do just fine. Now go hold court on PB.

I love the build. If I had it to do right now I'd go straight xt and Chris king where I could. Solid rig.

He's already color matching, just not very well.

XT would be an affront to such a nice frame.

I've never understood black/red scheme, but to each his own. I agree though, if I was going to match, I'd start elsewhere before cable and chain.

Not bashing, just commenting. Bashing would be negative, mine is simply another point of view. Everyone has different opinions. I'm not sorry for voicing mine.

Well, I've delt with many passive-aggressive Mtb know-it-alls that think it's totally fine to point out everything they think is wrong with your bike/setup/parts choice, etc. If I or anyone asks, go for it, but unsolicited "advice" is a pet peeve for me.

So if I don't have anything ultra-positive to say, I shouldn't comment? That's not how the world works, buddy. You showcase your bike here, you leave it open to comment from other users.

Man you guys are so serious. Lighten up. I don't like XT, and I think it would be bad on a bike as nice as the Nomad. If I had to go budget I would go GX1. SRAM 1x11 > Shimano 1x11 anyway.

I've already gotten Bike of the Day 3 times, FYI.

Man that chain and brake hose are really not doing it for me. Ano red parts like seat collar, chain ring, etc would have been a better call IMO.
