Oh, what the heck... one more

Sarah's (not my Sarah) new 29x4" bike. Featuring BB wrench counterweight and no shock bushings yet! It's friday...

No decals either? Walt's not even trying...
Pretty normal modern XC geometry, dropper post compatibility, and remote lockouts and adjustable travel out the wazoo. Sooner or later I gotta modernize my own stuff, my own FS bike looks pretty darn obsolete these days.

This thing would fit me pretty well if the seat tube and head tube were both 2" longer

Check out the Xprezo Magic Carpet, it has a steel rear-end. One way to modernize your FS bikes, definitely do-able, you could probably keep the drive-side chainstay straigth or experiment building/shaping that tube also, but the catch would be designing the linkage, because their's is definitely CNC'd. The older Ventana rear-old is definitely getting a bit long in the tooth.
