Isn’t that the sort of thing only someone who is doomed to disappointment would say?
Not for me, personally.
Without wanting to rehash this thread ... https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/giving-up-the-fs/
For the riding I do, 99% of the time, a good, modern (and, even better, 29er, Ti, and possibly semi-chubby) HT is enough for me. And PX/OO are likely to be able to do that at a price I can (save up to) afford ...
I wish you luck! Or at least more than I've had where "one bike for everything" has always been a prelude to another bike in 6 months' time. My wife otoh has one (hardtail) bike for everything and enjoys it but has no idea why I might want a road bike and a mtb and... Well she has a very good idea actually and it's that I just want another bike. But she's wrong...
“one bike for everything”
It's not quite that. I have a gravel bike (with a second set of road wheels) and a commuter hack (which only gets used on really mucky days, or when taken somewhere a bit dodgy and might get pinched)
But a "one-MTB", I've done before, for years, and been largely happy with that.
I think I just like shinny things...
(mods please delete this post. My wife must not see that)
One bike is very appealing from a maintenance point of view. Massive PIA maintaining a few bikes, they all always need something doing, despite them all getting used less individually.
Does anyone know what will happen to the DeeDar frame? If they stop making them will they be reduced and sold off or will it disappear over night?

Currently on clearance at £179.99 with a new longer boost model coming.
Fine timing, thank you good sir.
29er Tinbred will be as per big dog.
130mm forked 29er. Takes 2.6in in the rear. Or 2.8B+.
65 head, 75 seat, good reach, four sizes.I’m looking at doing a more steady away 29er too with like a 100mm 29er fork too.
Price will be like £700 or so.
Brant will any of these be sliding drops/ebb so can be run ss as well?
Is SS still a thing?
Some sliding drop stuff tho yes.
I'm being lazy and not reading back through everything but will there be a steel gravely type frame with some decent tyre clearance, SS sliding dropuuts maybe?
Something like a Cdf/day one that you could squeeze a 2" tyre into...
Any clues to what frame from the list will have sliding drop outs?
I'm considering consolidating my cross bike (Cotic X) and MTB (SS 26er Inbred) into a single bike - at the moment I do similar rides on both bikes, but each is slightly better in different ways at different points.
Currently thinking of a Bootzipper with a Geoff bar, 1x gearing and fast-rolling 2"-or-so tyres.

Yep.
Brill.

Yes please. 69.0 HA, potentially 69.5, keep the top tube long enough for mid length stems too pls, boost and not 27.2 seat tube.

Yes.
Any news on an ETA for these frames?
Also any Pompetamine type frame on the way?
I seem to recall mid September from another thread
