I want 1 bike that can do it all... bc I will do it all in one ride:-)  

Especially at your height,it's HARD to beat a Surly Troll IMO (have one myself,and I'm a big 29er fan,the Troll being my first non-29er since 2008 or so). I just got back home a couple of hours ago myself,from a 136 mile S24O with mixed terrain

You can haul 5 bottle cages (even with some front racks-unfortunately not the one I have,LOL),26" wheels are available put-near anywhere,it rides fine on and off road,will fit skinny road rubber or fat (3" I think) knobbies,is SS or gear ready (including IGH),and accepts disc or V brakes,it's amazingly versatile

"Legally disabled" Veteran (means "due to on the job spinal injuries-from 2001,I continued to work until 2008-unable to be able to work consistently enough to have reasonable expectation to hold/keep gainful employment enough to support himself/his family",but,obviously being a member here,I do have good days/weeks when nothing is "flared up" and I ride,as I have since a kid in the 70's/80's) US Army. Basically means I'm a house-dad :p

That's an inspiring video
