So, it looks like ECR and Karate Monkey would work. I live in Minneapolis, so those are pretty easy to find, especially used. What about something like a Trek 1120? If you used a Troll, could you run 26 wheels and do like 26x3.0...or could you run a Disc Trucker and put on different wheels to make it more "off road friendly?" What about running front suspension? Any advantage to a Cutthroat? Thanks for any feedback. I just don't know a ton about these types of "mountain bikes." I would ideally like to find something that has similar geometry to my Vaya...upright and relaxed.
