Maybe it's not equipped with fat enough tyres, but since the Genesis Vagabond got a mention a few pages back, I thought I could post mine.
It was built from the frame up, so has a hybrid drive train with Shimano SLX chainset and front mech with a 105 rear mech, shifters and brakes.
I'll be using it for bike-packing eventually, but for now it's been used for exploring the South of England. It's a total beast that seems to be able to climb or mash its way through almost everything. There's been a few occasions when I've crashed through a ditch or dumped it into mud at speed and then emerged on the other side totally unscathed.
It's pretty high at the front end, with a long back end and 72 degree seat angle which means I get traction on some pretty steep, loose conditions, so it's great for seated climbing.
