So I'm thinking I should probably sell my wanker hybrid and save for a proper MTB this year. Case use will be gravel rides that often get inappropriate for gravel bikes (half the group ride MTBs) and longer stuff in to the South Wales valleys. I might like to have a trip out two to BPW/Afan eventually, but probably not before some coaching to make me less shit/scared.
Pipedream Sirius looks nice and matchy rigid fork might be cool for mucky winter riding. Are steel hardtails mostly about looking cool and I'd get more value from an Alu hardtail? Someone in the gravel lot had a Scandal with carbon fork that looked fun.
Obviously most options are out of stock for now, but this probably won't be until winter anyway.
