Thread: FS: Santa Cruz Nomad

Here is my 2007 Nomad. It is near new. No scratches or dents. I paid over $6500 when I bought it new, almost three years ago. I hate to part with it, but I need the money. I will not sell only the frame, it is being sold as a complete bike. It weighs around 28 lbs. 

I am asking $3500 OBO. Please, no low ball offers. All low ball offers will be ignored. 



 I will ship to Canada and the continental US only. Serious inquiries only please. More pictures available upon request. PM me or reply to the thread.

Schweeet ride! Great price! Wish I had the dough! Somebody scoop this up!

Just to help you sell it faster... a brand new 2008 Nomad is selling for $2600 at our local shop. I know it has less expensive parts, but it is at a shop and brand new.

I am very aware that someone could go out and get a new one at a shop, but you would never be able to spec one out with the same components for the price I am asking for mine. A new one would cost over $6000.

you're fucking stoned out of your mind if you think a 3 year old bike is worth $3500.

apparently you think you hit The Life Trifecta when you scored that Nomad. hate to tell you they're easily found... new... for much less.

drop the price by at least $1,000 and you'll be nearing the outer reaches of the solar system

right now, you're off in nowheresville at that price

but good luck!

PS: "around 28 lbs"? give or take 5 lbs?

Why did you put a 140mm rotor on a Nomad?

Yeah what they said.

Plus you sound like a douche.

Although no price expert I just sold a 2007 Blur and got less than a third of what I paid for it new and thats after paying to get the shock rebuilt with new seals.

sigh. you don't understand the situation here.

if the idea of selling it for $2500 or less doesn't appeal to you, you should consider parting it out.

good luck.

I am prepared to wire 1,000,000 turkish lira for this bike.

email me wire instructions at pwn3d@stfunoob.org

Three year old Nevegals? This bike might sell if it had a Push'ed Gravity Dropper.

This thread is awesome.

I will buy the XTR crankset and rear der. for $5.

2nd dibs on the XTR crankset.

I offer you $2.87 for 4 links of the chain, the lower bearing race on the headset, the left grip, the rear derailleur cable (cable only, no housing needed), the Thomson stem faceplate & bolts, the rear brake adapter, and 12 spokes out of the front wheel.

second dibs on Faceplate. ...Got a non-mag friend who's been looking for one. doesn't need the bolts though.

Cue butthurt in 3... 2... 1...

This is exactly why I shouldn't have even bothered trying to sell my bike (by not trying to sell my bike. I know.). Used gear depreciates faster than a '93 Ford Taurus.

SR has been due for a good thrunting...

yes and no. there is a sweet-spot in the upper middle that can hold value reasonably well. sorta.

the XT-level santa cruz build kits are generic but can offer good value especially if your LBS gives you a 15% standard discount on large purchases, or if SC is having a sale (as they were recently...built up hecklers for cheap). you could ride the bike for 2-3 years, sell as complete or part it out, and come out okay. not great, but okay.

however at the XTR level the msrp is sort of a price gouge. like this "6500 dollar" nomad...for 5 grand i could have built up a pimpier 2007 ride with better wheels and brakes with some smart shopping. But this issue is compounded by the fact that the people at that end of the price curve are more likely to be gear snobs that look at a 2007 build and sniff "old XTR? creaky version of the frame pivots? dent-prone DT 5.1 rims, non-tubeless-ready? etc.'. Which makes it nearly impossible to sell an older high-end bike for a high resale value. There are exceptions. e.g. some frames hold their value well. a cane creek DB holds value well. iconic race frames with collectible value. etc.

i don't usually step in with the price police comments. however the OP appeared to need some convincing. I wish him luck. looks like the bike is in nice shape.

OP should be plenty aware of price policing on TGR... I think that's about all they've done is posted in gear swap.
