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?
Merida big trail.
Three bottle mounts.
Panier/rack mounts.
Kickstand mount.
Mudguard mount
140 mmm travel hardtail, trail geo. 29er.
Surly Karate Monkey?
Cotic Solaris Max thats got a fair few mounts on the down tube. https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/solarisMAX
Cheers all, all added to the list.
Any more?
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?
Niner SIR 9? Lots of frame mounts, 853 tubing, “Trail country” geometry
Anything.
Just use this fork. It's got enough mounts for everything.
