I looks as though the Nomad is probably the bike to go for.

Based on how you described what you are looking for, this statement is correct.

The most important measurement for bike fit is the reach and there is a huge difference of 1.2".

This is a concern for my lil T-rex arms

Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

So Leggatt, have you ordered something yet? I'm exhausted just reading this thread.

No matter what, you've made the right decision. Both bikes are nice! Maybe you could get 50% off both?!:clap:

how would that be any different from getting one replaced under warranty and buying the other at full pop?

how does that make any sense?

Ya, I don't think there are any two fer one deals on Bronson's and Nomads….

I am looking forward to getting it built/ordered. Either way, the new 650b On-one will be getting a lot of ride time this winter. Sick bike.

what size are you looking at? Ive squished around on Bradical's bikes (both) and definitely need a large. Newmad is longer than the Oldmad for sure, but a medium still feels short on me

That's good to know Simon. You and I are the same size for bikes and I think a large with a 50mm stem will be perfect.

I was considering a medium, but the reach seemed too short vs the large TRc I was on.

If your the same height as Simon, a LRG is def the way to go

I had the same dilemma and after much deliberation I went with the Bronson over the Nomad. With a 160mm pike it is pretty much dialled for anything that I could possibly throw at it.

You can all go to hell. I'll be joining you shortly and I'm bringing beer and cheetos.
