I'm already running a 60mm stem and 780 bars on the Inbred, can't remember the exact fork offset but I remember choosing the more trail-friendly offset fork over the XC-race-friendly offset fork. The Inbred is a really, really good bike but the geo is showing its age compared to more modern long-low-slack bikes.
I've ordered a Krampus Ops now anyway. I rode a few other bikes (Niner SIR9, Yeti 575, Switchback 130x) and enjoyed the Krampus the most - it's like all the benefits of rigid are still there, but the disadvantages are diminished. It's also the cheapest of the bikes I rode (although probably not the best value) - and it'll make a decent bikepacker too. And it's just a bit different, which I like. Well that's what I'm telling myself... what's the opposite of sour grapes?
