The Gryphon is pretty good. I think it's fully designed to be a drop-bar MTB. Not a heavy tourer like a Fargo or AWOL. They're relatively inexpensive, well built and versatile. A little too versatile for me actually. I'd prefer not to have an eccentric BB, and the cable guides are bolt on ones rather than fixed. Like many Surly bikes, it tries to be all things to all people.
