Here is my Nomad. I built it last May, and have finally gotten around to posting pictures of it. It is a 590M frame.
I use it to commute to work year round, and in the winter we get a lot of rain. I have set up the bike so that it is great for wet weather riding. The rear brake is a Magura MT2 disc brake for better wet weather stopping. The fenders/mudguards are SKS55 with BuddyFlaps. The front hub is a SON28, which powers the B&M Luxos front light and the B&M TopLight rear light. The other front lights are Light & Motion Seca lights, which are powered by batteries in the handlebar back. They are very bright, and I use them on the trail in the dark. The two tail-lights are old Nite-Rider Universal Tail-lights, which are also very bright, and are powered by a battery in my trunk bag.
I wanted the handlebar bag to not interfere with the lights, so I made a "raised" bar for the lights. The bar is a length of straight bar cut from an old handlebar, and the supports are two handlebar mount extensions (like this:

The wiring around the handlebars is a bit of a rat's nest that I still need to clean up.
I built the bike myself, for two reasons. First, the import duty in Canada for complete bikes is 13%, but 0% for bike parts, so I saved a bit of money. Second, I wanted the challenge of building it myself, so that I understand how it works and can fix problems if they arise.
If people are interested, I can list the full specs.
