Check out the ECR, Troll and Ogre from Surly too. The Krampus has been around for a while.
The ECR is surprisingly good on tarmac and ossum on (wet) grass.

Rockymountain if you are anywere in the Cambridge area you are welcome to a test ride.
Drool. Bikepacker lekker! Are those Surly tyres? You need red headset spacers to offset your pedals. And maybe a red seat post clamp. Not that I mind how you set your own bike up though.
Just wish it was mine. No issues. None. Not jealous.
That’s a kind offer, thanks
Sadly I’m in Oxford.
