I love the MB-1 idea! I'm also stuck for space, but having qiut drinking a couple of years ago my booze money can go into bikes - so I need to figure out one bike (and a couple of wheelsets)
I started by building up a Ragley Big Al with a 150mm lyrik and some Nukeproof Horizon wheels. Have loved riding that but now, die to COVID I'm stuck on local trails that are mostly short sharp ups followed by short sharp downs, rocks and roots but no descent longer than a minute.
I've put in an order for a Binary Maniak frame and will have two builds: one using the Horizon wheels and 150mm lyrik fork and the other around a 120mm SID and a set of Nobl TR32s.
I'll also be switching between geared (GX AXS derailleur with a Shimano cassette) and single speed (34/22 for the 120mm build and 34/18 for the 150mm).
I'm tempted to get a set of gravel/road tires and some clip on aero bars too - just to round out the options...
