Speaking of the Krampus, it's brother the ECR is also something to consider and I would probably choose it over the Ogre. The ECR has 80 mm of bottom bracket drop (same as Hunq) and the chainstays are 45.1 cm slammed forward and would be 46.5 cm with Monkey Nuts installed. I would buy a frameset and build it up with normal MTB size (2.2 to 2.5") tires but the option would always be there to do the whole 29+ thing. The word back on the ECR is that it's long, low and stable.
I'm not sure how heavy the ECR is but my Karate Monkey, as a single-speed with 40 spoke touring wheels and 40mm Duremes weighed 24 lbs or less.
