Are you having to lower your seatpost regularly? I mainly ride MTB in the south downs area so even if I'm riding more XC stuff still find I'm having to put down my massive seatpost a lot on steep decents, the dropper is a lot of money for a seatpost on an old bike, but well worth it in my opinion especially if the people you ride with have droppers! This one of the more affordable ones - XLC SP-T08 105mm travel (400mm) overall. Brand X do a similar 27.2 one, I'd go for the maximum travel versions. The cable tagged onto my already externally routed rear brake hose so looks pretty neat and the lever fits next to my front derailleur shifter neatly.
Thanks, it seems to have stood the test of time for me, it was one of the earlier 29ers but it has good combo in the geometry of chuckability down trails but capable of a good riding position for long distance uphill.

Hmm do you have the details of this? I'm lining up for a refresh of an even older Inbred, considering a dropper or whether to just keep on using the (already there, and therefore free) quick release seatpost clamp.
Your High Latitude looks great, dependable and fun, nice work keeping it going!
