Surly Ogre sounds ideal

Once again, this forum needs a 'like' button! Sorry that you had to go to Sheffield, though. 😉

Travers Rudy Fat 29+ looks interesting, I love the look of it and it gets good reviews.

all the best Tony.

I am still to advertise it properly, but will be finally stripping and flogging my XL Krampus rolling chassis. Gone full fat, let me know if you are interested.

Sounds like promising news Ton.

My Gryphon might be the kind on thing you'd like. On-road, off-road, bit of touring, commuter too if you want.
Getting the build right is key.

Though the Krampus looks nice.

Genesis Fortitude is very nice and good value second hand.

My single speed Fortitude is the most ridden bike, love the simplicity

Tony, I thought you had sold an On One 29er a while back

Charge Cooker is worth a look; a skinny tubed singletrack weapon... in the right hands of course 😉

I did indeed, but I sold it a while back....I thought I was gonna be stuck without the need for a mtb.
it seems there is a possibility that I may need one again.
a strong 29er would be perfect, something I can do a bit of offroad on, or stick a rack and some slicks on, to tour with.

surly ogre looks good, on one 29r looks good vfm too.
everything seems to have shot up in price in the last 4 years..... 😯

Looking for a treking bike myself, how would a Fortitude Race compare with an Inbred 29er - prefer the Genesis on paper but Inbred is cheap at the mo & does allow for double chainring

I'd happily let you have a spin on it Tony, just let me know when and where
