First you were gonna get some old piece of crap and have me help you with it, ..... then you specifically wanted a Nomad and Fox Talas 36 RC2, .... now Enduro,......... Dude, I can build you an awesome rig, but again I say, ..... YOU"RE ALL OVER THE BOARD!!! You're pretty, ridiculously hard to help/work with!!!!!

I agree...you are a little scattered, but it is a decision that anyone would be driven a bit crazy by.
To answer your last question as best I can, The Specialized seems to be a better climber and a tad lighter feeling when on the saddle. It looks awesome and rides great. The problem is that you may be having to service the suspension frequently like my buddy has. Insane amount of problems with the Specialized fork. If you go this route, just make sure you buy from a dealer that will assist you with the almost inevidable suspension issues. I have only a very limited ride on the SC Nomad to base my opinion on, but it feels stout, solid, sexy and is a very good AM bike. Just spend the extra $$ for a better build. You won't regret it.
My next bike will probably be a Knolly. If you have the budget, that is what I would do. Either the Endorphin or Delirium. The former is a better AM all arounder and the latter is way more aggressive for DH type stuff. They both make everyone stop and look and they both have insane build quality. Knolly FTW.

Top tube on the Enduro SL is kinda long, and the Specialized suspension components don't seem to be as compliant. Scotty, myself, and Sonny all *used* to ride one, and I think we're all happier on our current mounts - Scotty is on his Santa Cruz Nomad, I'm on the Ibis Mojo, and Sonny is on his Giant Reign X.
I actually liked my Jekyll more than I liked the Enduro SL - which is why I sold it. Top tube on the Jekyll was shorter, suspension was more compliant, and I had it built a little lighter (28 lbs)

Back from Downieville. Scratched and bruised =(. Damn rock garden. I went over the bars twice (once @ the rock garden, and once at freaking pauly creek). Finished the downhill from packer saddle in about 2 hours. WAY more fun than the first time!
Got back into town before noon, decided not to push myself for a second run. I think I ran across Harpo @ the bridge.
Then I jumped in this:
YYYEEEAHHHHHH. What a great day!

LMFAO Toooo funny, so there I am riding across the bridge with Gregory (Bikemech1) after an absolutely incredible run down and somebody rides by me on the bridge, and I could have sworn I heard him say, "Hey Joe," ....
Gregory and I then restarted in our conversation (we chatted about it just the night before) how we don't remember SHIT anymore, names, people, etc. Racked my brains trying to figure out who the heck that was that new me. LOL x 10.
As previously stated, the day was absolutely spectacular! Perfect run, perfect weather, perfect company,... After our run we hit the river, AWESOME!! Then chatted with the locals, then sat down on the porch of the resturant and chatted with locals from the bay area, locals from that area, several extremely cute bike chics, stuffed our faces with great food and then just couldn't leave without hitting the river again. Great F#$%EN DAY!!!!!!
Wish me/us luck, ... Northstar in a few hours

Weekend after the race. I'll be there I'll be wearing knee + shin protection this time.
I just got one of those GoPro wearable cameras to document the ride. hehehe. Funny story, I purchased it @ sacramento cyclegear and they have the camera with a free 2gb sd card. I ripped it open when I got home, and whaddayaknow, it was a return, with another 2gb sd card in it, and lithium batteries! WTF! I popped the card in my pc, and there's videos of some guys dicking around on dirtbikes!
Isn't it illegal to sell returned merchandise as new?
Don't know when you posted this but if you still need it let me know the size and I might be able to help.

NorthStar
After a great day at Downieville on Friday, Greg and I hit Northstar on Saturday.
GREAT DAY is all I can say.
And not only was it a great day of weather and riding, I had the opportunity/privilege of following 2 Pro level DH racers down 4 or 5 runs. They slowed down a click (or 2
) so I could actually follow, observe and learn. Holly crap did that make a difference in my riding. I strongly recommend that if you have the opportunity to follow someone that is really familiar with a riding area, and a really excellent rider, .... TAKE IT!!!

nice!
What you need to do is ride the bikes, I sold my enduroSL even after I upgraded the suspension front and rear, I did like the Nomad but could not afford it, I bought a used Reign X for half what the Nomads were going for.
Ryan however likes the enduroSL and rides it well, his level of riding is above mine. (read- I needed a heavier bike that withstands being thrown on rocks).
I was also peeved at the "special"ized 25mm hub and axle
come on, the 20mm has been standard for a while, why make it hard for people to swap wheel sets?
It's mine in the sense that I purchased all the part to build it, ... but no, it's not mine to ride. This is how I'm paying the bills these days.
I Buy, I build, I clean, I fix, I service, ...... I SELL, ..... I pay the rent.
Come and take it for a spin if you'd like. It's a pretty damn sweet ride.
