I was in a similar situation and sold my patriot for a short travel bike, which i regretted cos it was still heavy and springy, so i sold that and got a dialled alpine which is perfect. If you cant afford one of them then get a DMR trailstar in 18inch size, looks awesome.
Ive had a few Trailstars over the years and they ride really nicely
