Want to hear from real people, so what do you recommend - currently riding mostly old steel (road) and in possession of descent alu hardtail 29er (light off-road) :
- Comfort over speed is a must, dodgy wrists awaiting more scalpel plus body not as flexible as few decades ago
- Budget £2k as Cycle to scheme max, usual discounts can be applied
- hydro brakes must
- leaning towards 2x front for wider choice of gears, but can be persuaded otherwise
- any material - carbon/alu/steel as long as within budget
Thanks

On most bike forums, everyone just recommends what they have, so...

Tripster.

Mine is 2x Di2 with 650x47/50 tyres but also ran 700x50. They're cheap, they're solid, they ride over stuff.

You are limited by whatever you can buy right now. Ribble steel CGR showing as April 2022 but has everything you describe there - assuming you'll not want bigger than 700x45x/650x47c tyres.

I've not used them but would be tempted to look at a redshift stem and eesilk seatpost.
