Get the most artisanal piece of gaspipe you can possibly find and fit a
160mm
170mm180mm sus fork to it -
Red Boxxer > blue SID
-
Apparently this one can take a pannier rack

But this one looks more fun

Frame sets for both look cheap??? Sure a fitting fork and 2nd hand drive train can’t be too much? Dropper?
Boost wheels probably cost £1000000 tho
If I get one without a blue Sid is it taboo
-
This is good…
Apparently I need a S in those tho

Essentially want it to fit like a my partners ogre which is already on the smaller side with a 50mm stem and swept bars… want a size m ogre with a sus fork

Should probably consider reporting him about now

there's also a nice Trekkk law enforcement wagon

hello, this is my specialist subject.
forget the panniers, they will rattle around to hell on anything truly interesting to ride. just get some well used revelate bags off ebay like the rest of us.
you want a second hand steel hardtail 29er frame. anything since 2010 will be fine.
don't worry about whether the forks need a service or the wheels are a bit old. you're not racing.
pinkbike offers up many interesting options thanks to its great filter tools. -

Are you saying you don’t have to service forks every 50 hours?
I was wondering how people on the tour divide or the like did it, did they have to stop in at towns, carefully planned, to service their forks while touring.
This is big of true
Are you sure about panniers? I don’t want to “go mountain biking” on tour, that sounds like a trip to a+e, but the ability to have say, something which can switch rigid to squish for your vs the weekend is attractive
the audience winces, the buyer has mentioned modularity, to the unsuspecting viewer modularity is the promise of a item which bends to the whim of its owner, fulfils all of their needs while seemingly being infinitely malleable. In practice however the owner will often just make the object in one form, leaving the parts of its other form strewn about the shed, possibly selling them when the need for money arrises
Having toured with bike packing bags and now panniers panniers do seem like they hold more stuff, I could never get my tail bag to stop wagging and hold more than a couple of rolled up ironic graphic tees with the sleeves cut off.

Solid list
@Thrasher in a just world this would be marketed as “the comrades bike” in the democratic republic of America
@amey when are you buying one so I can buy your supercaliber
I think I’m going to start by buying some blb “big smoke” bars for the homer and see if that makes me ride it more, then follow platypus’s advice to find something old, used and beat up, so that if I can squint I can pretend it’s a karate monkey (which are in stock on spa)

Are you saying you don’t have to service forks every 50 hours?
you should, but it's not that deep if you forget, I send em off for a £90 service when they feel really stiff, £90 is not much for a year of many fun rides with smooth boings
Are you sure about panniers?
yes
I don't do "mountain biking" per se as I don't like being bumped around, I ride mellow singletrack and smile whilst wearing ancient worn-out clothes and wild camping wherever I want
