Re: Nimbus X or Nimbus II for cruising?

I would recommend the nimbus II the seat post is a more standard size
and the frame also leaves room for a larger tire if you do end up
deciding to upgrade.

It is pretty much just a Muni with a road tire instead of a DH tire. It
is also cheaper.

You can easily cut a seatpost so I would recommend getting the longer
one and then trying it, and chopping off however much you need.

Thanks all of you for your suggestions!

To Brian, I actually like the color on the Nimbus II, I would get the
blue. I'm a girl, and I like the fact it's not quite as bland as just
plain black. I also like the color because my Torker LX is black and I
want something way different. :)

Oh, and I just don't like the hassle of cutting it myself, because I
had someone do it last time and they cut it too short. But this time I
will make sure that doesn't happen!

cut it one inch at a time and you will never get it wrong. The nimbus
has a long head tube so is quite forgiving of seatpost length.

To be honest, i think you have your answer.

Both are great uni's for cruising around town. If you prefer the blue
nimbus II, then get it. As it's cheaper, you've got yourself a good
deal. Why not put the difference on some stronger cranks. Just incase
you decide you want to hop off things. I bent the ones on my nimbus X,
but i landed pretty badly from a feet up.

Or, maybe use the $16 to get some better pedels with more grip. They
were the first thing i changed.

the cheapest one.

Nothing you can do cruising on a 24 in will break it, they are ISIS and
are nimbus brand, so they're strong.
