What you want then is a lightweight xc 29er mountain bike, bang up to date carbon frame, xc tyres like Vittoria mezcal and a sid up front. A Santa Cruz highball or similar. You ain't going to cobble that together with a carbon road frame or a 1990s MTB. Or just be happy going a bit slower.

Haha yeah, once round the block and you realise your mistake, the stick it on the back of the garage for 30 years and try to forget the experience

I agree, that's why we have gears More gears and closer gears means you can get closer to that ideal

Yeah do you even ride bikes? I'm most efficient at a cadence of about 90rpm i choose a gear to keep that cadence on the terrain i find myself therefore closely spaced gears help with that on an mtb 12 speeds help me have the range required for the variety of terrain 1x has no overlap of...
