Not considered a lighter XC style mtb with gravel tyres, or do you have one of those already?

I like the idea but the frames weren't particularly cheap and tended to be carbon or alu. They also lost things like the rack mounts as well. Without going custom seat angles were no better. I had a Fortitude not too long ago and didn't like it. Also had a MK1 Stooge that I thought I would love but didn't. Selling my Singular as well as it didn't have the mounts I needed and seat angle again.

Yes, once I'd written that, I struggled to think of any modern steel frames aimed at XC. Also XC bikes don't seem to have embraced the much steeper seat angles of trail and enduro bikes ( maybe 75 degrees max? )
