Julio,
Looks very good, comfy and functional.
I have a similar cockpit setup on my Thorn.

Sorry to be a little late in replying, Julio--

Just yesterday I was in my local outdoor shop, having my more-or-less annual conversation with a guy about Keeping Hands Warm and Dry on de bike, and he was showing me what the local fat-bike riders have settled on:  All variants on your solution. So, you seem to have nailed it -- well done!

"Pogies", I think they're called in these parts -- adaptations of kayakers' tools.

(They don't quite work for me, as I use drop bars on my Raven, and although there are drop-bar versions, they're for derailleur bikes, and my Rohloff shifter sits on my Thorn T-bar below my handlebars. Then again, I take my bikes off the road betw early December and late March, or until the ice is off the roads.)

Safe journeys,  John

Hi John,

Yes i could test them, it was around O degree and that works well, just with summer gloves...
I think it is the essential option for riding all day long in cold weather.

I bought my Nomad in 2011 in black, thinking it to be the logical choice for stealth camping.  Now every time I suffer a look at a Nomad in that gorgeous Yellow color, I regret my choice. 

Can't wait for time travel to be refined a bit, so I can improve the color and look of my favorite bike.

I like that as well, but there is something so cheerful about yellow.  I received delivery of the Thorn Tandem a few weeks ago, in yellow, and every time I walk in there I repeat myself to my wife - Man, I love the color.  Green of course is a very close second for me, and a first choice now, if stealth is high on the list.

Salut Julio,
Je m'étais arrêté à la première page, et du coup les photos suivantes m'avaient échappé... (Grand mal m'en a pris)
Superbe évolution de ton Nomad au fil du temps.
Les manchons sur ton cintre, c'est de la récup sur un blouson moto ou ils se vendent tels quels ?

A bike is for life - but the colour is only till you get bored with it or find some other excuse to change.
I wouldn't choose yellow, yet I know someone with an original derailleur Nomad in that Tonka yellow and when it needed repainting they went for the same again...

Salut Thierry,

Désolé du retard, je viens juste de lire ton message. Pour te répondre ces manchons qu'on appelle aussi pogie, je les ai commandé sur Bike24 : https://www.bike24.com/p2279234.html?q=pogies

Le prix a augmenté du reste, je les avais eu à 90 euros, néanmoins super site avec un large choix de pièces et d'équipements.

N'hésite pas à te présenter un jour et nous montrer ta nouvelle acquisition  ;)

In the beginning, i wanted a black, but it's an opportunity who made me choose yellow, and honestly no regrets :)

...and you have a similar mount behind your seat stem too. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your solutions.

Great share! The scenery  is fabulous. Really interesting to see your set up. I particularly noticed your fuel bottle location, thus creating space for the er Blackburn? large bottle holder.
