Dream(ish) Build: 2013 Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon - "Cruzader"

After an untimely leg injury early in summer 2021, I decided to dive in and finally repaint and rebuild the Santa Cruz Nomad C v2. Since I wasn't going to be riding it anytime soon according to docs, this would be the perfect and probably only chance I'd have to decommission the bike long enough to do a proper repaint, upgrade, and rebuild, while documenting the entire process. Enjoy! *a month later, the 2010 Lyrik fork was swapped for a 27.5" Öhlins RXF 36 for a badass 27.5/26 mullet setup! • If you have questions about tools or components, let me know and I'll try to answer them as best as I can:)
