Mid-Fat Hardtails Under 20k/Fatbikes that can climb

[eXtruder]

Firstly I am an absolute newb or noob, so your advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Currently ride Giant Reign adv, looking for a fun second hardtail bike under 20k.

 

Love fatter tyres of all sizes, but we do a lot of climbing.  Will consider full fat if anyone has survived a steep climb on one.

 

Like the idea of frames that allow different sized wheels, but 29+ will do.  Medium frame will work.

 

A lot of the stuff I've seen under 20k don't have great forks, but I can replace this at a later stage if necessary.

 

Thanks for this forum and this site, helps nooooobs like me be better.

 

Peace

Hate to "advertise" but I have a very nice 650b HT with a very good spec for sale if you are interested. Without wheelset currently, but will come in well under 20k with a new high end Alu wheelset. P.M. me if interested.
