Hippy how come you don't try and buy a rigid 29er? Kona unit X, planet x bigdog, Sonder frontier, I only know cheap options, I'm sure there are boutiquer ones but something like that? It seems like the good inbetween for someone who wants to ride far, off road, in relative comfort, but doesn't want/can't afford to mess with shocks ? Isn't there a flatbar alu alpkit bike that's pretty cheap and has pretty good clearance?
I ask because I feel the same as you re: shock maintenance.
