Santa Cruz Megatower, Nomad or short.. 5010?

[Hugo Stiglitz]

I've not ridden Santa Cruz for years and I've owned Bullits, Hecklers Blur4x etc etc probably over 10yrs ago now!

Any current or recent owners?

Needs to be lightish but can do anything and I'll be building up from frame only.


One thing I'm not a fan of is ultra slack headtubes though as I don't like the flip flop front feel.

The deals are what perked my interest - needs to be frame only as my build is what I'd class as known to me/what I'm happy with.

depends what you want to do with it or where you ride...

head angles arent too slack. dont really notice flip flopping with current geo as the front is longer anyway.

5010 is fun but could be underbiked.

The other two comes down to wanting full 29 or mullet. I quite like the mullet, purely due to not hitting my arse on the wheel so often

Used to- I've never changed my profile. Peaks, Calderdale, Lakes etc.

I read a comment recently- buy what you ride not what you aspire to.

So for me anything over 150/160 would be a waste!

That's because you can't get Calderdale out of your blood..
