Out of pure stupidity I ballsed up my taxes and was left with a large debt. To cover the debt I needed to sell off the bulk of my stable, which included a nomad V4 which I did not even get a chance to ride.
Instead of immediately repaying the tax debt in another move of stupidity (or genius) I purchased a complete evil insurgent for a steal.
I moved all the parts off the newly acquired insurgent and ended up with a frame which is pretty much immaculate for $525.
Although it hurts to lose a big chunk of your bike collection this definitely eased the burn. Plus it is a huge relief to have paid off the debt.
This is the build, really happy with how it turned out.
