I have tried a stock HT MTB and a carbon road bike for commuting in the past and have found both not ideal, the problem is I like the geometry of the MTB and the ease of the road bike.So, I have decided to look at getting or building a specific commuter bike, but am stumped as to what type of frame to base it on, has anyone built a commuter bike successfully on an MTB which didn't weigh a ton etc. My commute is urban and only about 10 miles each way.

Have you tried Halfords in Rochdale? There is a guy in the bicycle section who has one of those I believe.

I ride my ATB as commuting bike and it works fine with me. The 10 miles are not really a good measure if we don't know about the roads or trails you want to travel.

a single purpose...
i have yet to figure out your purpose...
My purpose was to get my pool clear again. I did everything suggested by my pool guy like putting filter in recirculate and just dumping antifungal and shock but that didn't work. So more anti and shock to be added tomorrow. You said you couldn't help me even though you claim to be a certified pool dude. You wouldn't answer my question if sand had to be replaced every year. My pool dude says yes. Just wanted second opinion but now it looks like I need to empty the dam pool and start over, not sure. If the second round of anti fungal and shock doesn't do it not sure what else to do.
I guess it is stupid to actually ask questions here since for the most part it brings out the trolls.
