Have you checked out the new Juliana Strega?

Seems to tick all the items on your checklist.

Identical frame to Nomad, just a tuned down shock. So yes, it's on my very short list, but if I were to get one I would get the Nomad.

In fact there's a 2016 Nomad, size small, on pinkbike right now, but apparently the old geo is different - 165mm rear travel as one data point. I'm not sure how much difference the geo makes. Obviously some. People were big fans of the changes. Also she's asking 4k, which is "only" $500 less than the low-end new Nomad build. But much better components. Hm.
