My flavor is a Lyrik, but same idea. Took me a while to find the fully frame that gave me the closest fit/feel to my hardtail, but now that I have, it was worth it.
Maybe something short travel, but slack/burly, like a slalom or "slopestyle" type dually would fit the bill?
Something like a Transition Double set up with a Pike up front seems like it would be a kick ass short travel trail bike, yet still have a really snappy feel. Granted the short TT and seat tubes' may not work for that for larger riders; I'm a short guy so they work for me.
I'm 6' with a 30" inseam, it's doable with me. The next bike is going to be a commencal of some kind with a Marzocchi 4X WC fork and will likely get a DMR Ex[ALT] to replace the current DMR.
