Find a bike with a decent leverage curve (ie. one you like), get the pivots done, maybe install an angleset (better yet, works components), send the suspension away for a refresh and it’s a new bike! Early gen alloy yt capras are hard to beat for value. There are others but they mostly have actual seat angles from 2008 and suck for climbing.
