To say that I’m exited for your experimentation with smaller chainrings is an understatement. Have you considered running an AXS derailleur to measure time in gear on your local trails? Would help you really optimize your cassette + chainring setup for the use case.
Privateer makes great bikes that fit the criteria of your 5k list. I have the 161 and love it.
