Not my bike, but saw this interesting drop-bar conversion on Portland Craigslist:

26" Wheel Touring / Commuter with Surly Fork and Chris King - $380 (Ne Portland)
This is a Gary Fisher steel mtb frame converted to a touring/commuter bike. It has dura ace bar end shifters, salsa stem and handle bars, cane creek levers and brakes, chris king headset, brand new chain, cassette, and chainrings, XT read derailer, sugino cranks. I just did a full tune up and put new cables and housing on. Should fit someone 5'7" to 5'10 or so.
