So yes!! I've been thinking on these same lines. I like the Elephant NFE but have heard even with the low trail fork there's some shimmy. Never ridden one myself. I love the idea of a bike with a light tube set capable of running 42mm+ CX & slick tires. I suppose some are calling it a monster cross. Just thinking about my ultimate adventure bike.
