Do I win a prize?

The most (in)famous one is folded from used filing cabinets in Yorkshire. Other alternatives are available for non Audi driving, IT working, Surrey dwelling forumites.

If the problem is that no one makes a frame with exactly your required geometry, ask yourself "why"?

Err no. The OP is obviously rich.

I dont get the 'must have a slackset' as soon as brant went back to on one.

Fit offset bushes and/or a shorter i-to-i shock if you must.

I don't get the whole "Titus are great" just because on one bought them out. The brand failed because they didn't make good bikes. They may be cheap now, but they're still not good bikes (although the FTM isn't bad, the EG is an utter dog).

An attack trail/wolf ridge?
Its fits every one of your criteria, and you didn't like it.
You sure you know what you actually want?

My first 146 was replaced due to the paint around the BB, structurally it was fine, replacement has been perfect and I cant feel any flex when riding although I have read about it.

Like the look of that Sukuma
