Thinking about getting a trail friendly (i.e. suspension, trail geo, wide rims etc.) hardtail for year round riding but with plenty of mounts for Spring/Summer bikepacking trips.

What bikes should be on my shortlist?

Got these so far...

Bombtrack Cale
Marin Pine Mountain
Sonder Frontier
Salsa Timberjack

Any others I should consider?

There is two Marin pine mountains on eBay ATM, 2017. Plenty of mounts on the frame. I ran one with panniers on the rear but could run one on the front as well for longer rides/bike packing. Capable off road and on, had 2.6 schwable super Moto X tyres. Depends if you want rigid fork, the pine mountain is quick release boast

Would the Brother Cycles [url= https://www.brothercycles.com/shop/frames/big-bro/ ]Big Bro[/url] fit the bill?

Anything.
Just use this fork. It's got enough mounts for everything.
