I'm gathering parts to build my Nomad but I'm not sure about the stem length and rise. I'm 5'8" 31" inseam on a Med frame, I do mostly aggressive trail and some light FR. What about the seat post too? Straight or Layed back? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm virtually the same size riding a new medium nomad. My bike is factory standard with the freeride package, so it has a 50mm raceface 10 degree DH stem and a thomson straight seat post. I was riding a medium Blur with 100mm 5 degree stem and Easton seat post with the rear offset. I am quite enjoying riding the Nomad set up as it is.
