Singular Gryphon NON-suspension corrected, drop bar, Phil Wood EBB, fits 29x2.4's, nice geometry. The new model has the requisite braze-ons for rack and fenders.
I'm building mine up with a Nuvinci N360 so I can get some firsthand experience with it on and off road.
That Raleigh looks pretty well thought out. I do like the dropout design.
I have been a fan of drop bar mountain bikes for a very long time and my Moulden leans toward the CX end of things as it runs road bars and with 26 inch wheels and is basically a monster cross that does double duty as a commuter.
Am currently running it in it's MX version sans rack and fenders which is a blast as it curbs out at nearly the same weight as my steel road bike.
