NCN killer…..I built it to do London to Brighton carrying a sleeping bag and a change of clothes then back again the next day. Scotland was way past that.

What’s the forum approved drop bar MTB?

As someone with an unholy amount of experience with MTB, I agree completely... but as a class of bike, "drop bar MTB" are fun comfortable machines suitable for any terrain between (not including) asphalt and sending it.

In fairness there’s quite a few bike with geometry similar to an early ‘10 MTB with a rigid fork.

Sonder Camino come to mind (69 Ht, 74 ST and looong reach).
