The bike looks absolutely killer overall. So here is my question. Do you think someone that is happily getting along with a gen 3 Nomad is going to be able to get along just as well with the gen 4 from an all around/climbing perspective? Your comments around the pedaling and climbing qualities, and terrain pumping/responsiveness are much more detailed and relate-able than what I have found elsewhere, and give me a ton of confidence in that regard. I built my gen 3 up with a full saint kit, 11.6, alu Fatbars, Onyx hubs and i29 alu rims, cushcore, 160mm Diamond. Not light, but I get along with it very happily everywhere and still find the bike to be very balanced overall for how crazy deep the descending capabilities go. I know you guys haven't had it for too long, but really want to get your opinion and impressions from that perspective. Any other insights at this point? Is the gen 4 way off the deep end now, or do the true all around capabilities and good climbing qualities still shine through, maybe even brighter than ever?
