• Like, I want it to ride stuff that my gravel bike is trying to kill me on.

    With a longer term view to do stuff like some of the "Divide" rides. It needs to work for weekend gnar and off-road ultras. Hence no dual-suss losing me all that triangle space.

  • The last time I bought a new MTB was in 2000. Not a clue. Assume off the peg frame/bike with whatever more expensive shit is needed to make it either faster or more durable or comfier.
