Tidying the garage the other day and realised how many spare parts I have.
It got me thinking about how far off enough for a full build I was, so I jotted everything down.
Turns out I only need a frame, providing I can find one that meets the following specs.
29er
142x12 rear
31.6 seatpost
73mm Bb
Tapered headtube
2.35 tyre clearance
Direct mount front derailleur
Thinking hardtail to sit alongside the full Susser.
Looked at the On-one lurcher, but rear dropouts are wrong as far as I can tell.
Any ideas??
2nd hand Canyon 29er frame off eBay?
Forks?
Tallboy if you can swap the post.
Niner ROS?
I got myself one of these that would fit the bill for you.

Forks could be either 100mm Sid or 140mm Fox 34 Talas
Canyon 29er HT, in alu or carbon flavours.
My 18" Honzo frame? Currently 135x10, but 142x12 dropouts are available.
Email in profile if of interest.
Yeti big top
It's 30.9 though
2 souls quarterhorse
Zealous Division (it's what I replaced my Honzo with).
This is exactly what I was looking for, couldn't find one when I had a look. So I am building one.
30.9 can be shimmed to 31.6 for less than a tenner with USE.
Why a front mech at all? Why not think about going 1x10?
And why limit yourself to a direct mount? Band mount mechs are cheap as chips to buy.
You could also get a 10mm bolt thru axle by DT seiss for a boost of stiffness too.
All of those options really open your choices up then.

Yes but read the OP again, 31.6 is never going to fit into 30.9
