[Closed] hard riding 29er hardtail / fully rigid....

I am curentley riding a ss inbred 29er with salsa rigid forks and love it. My next project is a bike for ragged riding at trailcentres and the like. I know people will not understand this but I really want it to be fully rigid, or at the very least a hardtail.I am fully sold on the big wheels and I am erring towards the Surly Krampus at the moment but also Feel the singular buzzard would do the trick as well.
Have I missed anything obvious? anyone any thoughts on either of these?
I have also seen a lovely chromag frame but can't remember the name....
thanks in advance
