Stanton Sherpa?
Only has clearance for 2.8 (assuming you're after 27.5+ and not 29+?) but otherwise fits the bill. Geo numbers look ideal for all day epics while not feeling outgunned when things get rowdy.

2.8 is fine. Would either have 29x2.3 or 27.5x2.8 depending on which wheels I use.
Everything else on the Sherpa is perfect (even the price is great!) except it's 135 rear end.
2 of my wheel sets are adaptable, but the third isn't... and I'd prefer 142x12. Damnit.
Honzo is looking like the winner...
Edit: just saw Sherpa next gen with 142x12... Pricing isn't as good though. Still very tempting.

At 500 pounds its under a k but the $250 shipping just hurts!
Cotic on the other hand are only $150 shipping (400 pounds for the frame) but again I think the Solaris is QR rear....

Yep... Although the end price isn't so bad, I can't bring myself to stump up 250+ for freight. Canfield nimble 9 is on run out for 499usd... Then 250usd freight. Ouch.

Back to reality. Sherpa is at the top of my list (slightly biased as I have a whole bunch of parts that could be hoovered up by one) but reviews on the Internets are pretty limited. The titanium versions are just pornography.

The Sherpa is a great bike. I'm totally happy with mine and I got the MKi with qr rear. The geo and fit is spot on for me running a 120 mm fork.
And you can always organise your own freight.

very much the intention, i want to be able to switch my 29" and 27.5" wheels between hardtail and endurbro. so much so, they both run the exact same hubs, rotors and cassettes so there is no tweaking required.
looks like i've got my greasy mitts on a Honzo, though... :nod:

New Canfield Nimble 9 boost is looking pretty darn good geo wise
They also mentioned that 12x142 dropouts are available!
And so as to follow the rules, a recent pic of my Soul.

prices for the Nimble 9 scared me... was very keen on one though.
the new Surly Karate Monkey has 145mm dropouts, can be spread to 142 or 148.. pretty nifty!

Yeah I'm hearing ya. Still, high on my lust list. Nearly pulled the trigger on a runout Sherpa frame until I saw the freight cost. Ah well, joy's of living at the bottom of the world.

Gone a bit quiet around here. Sad.
Anyway, in the interests of livening things up and a blatant link to a for sale thread I may have a near complete AM hardtail available* It's right here! http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?305498-On-One-45650b-(near-complete!!)
*mods if this counts as advertising or is just a dick move I apologise. Please delete if so.
