Surly karate monkey. You can swap some parts and make it anything you want. Geared 27.5+ with a 140mm fork for the Colorado Trail. Fast rigid 29er for the Tour Divide. SS for putting around town and local trails. Bosses and mounts for days, easy to use dropouts, big triangle for a big frame bag. It is not light, but it also won’t break!
