The BTR hardtail looks well fun.

You might want a slightly bigger cassette on the back depending on how much stuff you want to carry and how many hills you want to ride up (and how hard you are). Drop bars are good for spending days in the saddle because of the different position options you have, not absolutely necessary though if you really don't want them. Other than that it looks all set.

So since I have a 12 - 28 spread on the cassette, could I achieve the same thing you are saying by changing the crankset? I want to upgrade it anyway. If I were to put on a mtb crankset with 38 and 26 tooth rings, or something like that, would that also be a good idea?

I've just ordered myself a new skid lid, fancied a new one & it just so happens that crc had £10 extra off when spending £49 or more.

An 11-32 cassette with your current front chainrings would probably be better. 38-12 would leave you wanting more on the downhill I think.
