Combining big, wide flared drop bars with big, wide tyres makes for an incredible ride over varied terrain - even more-so on a lively steel frame.\nOur first model the Swift was first design to work with both drop and flat bars – though my personal preference was for the former. This was always a slight compromise, the perfect off road drop bar bike necessitates a taller headtube and shorter reach to put the hands in the same relative position. \nEnter the Gryphon.\nThe mythical mash-up of lion and eagle representing the ostensible clash between drop bars and big knobbly tyres – perfectly harmonious in reality. Released in 2008, at the time many just didn’t get it, however those who did appreciated this smooth riding steel frame. It became a cult favourite. More and more people came to appreciate the comfort and versatility of drop bars with the alchemistic pairing of big fat 29″ rubber. Drawing upon and further evolving the traditions of the legendary bikes of Charlie Cunningham and more contemporaneously Matt Chester, the Gryphon foreshadowed bikes such as the Salsa Fargo and subsequently the advent of ‘gravel’ bikes. To the best of our knowledge, the Gryphon was the first production 29″ wheeled, disc braked, steel mountain bike frameset designed for use with a drop handlebar.\n2022 sees the Gryphon’s return, updated for current component standards – but retaining the fabled smooth ride and light, lively handling of its predecessors.\nAvailable in M, L \u0026amp; XL sizes – see below for full geometry details. Frames will be in a lovely muted khaki (RAL 7034) with a simple Singular logo in ivory. The main pic is a (fairly basic) mock up of the design and the other photos are of earlier versions of the Gryphon.\nWe utilise a size specific selection of Taiwan made custom drawn triple butted 4130 Cro-Mo tubing.\nFrame specification\n\n34mm ID head-tube – for a traditional 1 1\/8″ steerer fork\nSingle chainring, max 42t on a 52mm chainline\n73mm BSA threaded bottom bracket shell with eccentric insert\n142×12 thru axle\n27.2mm seatpost with 30.0mm clamp (included)\nClearance for up to 29×3″ tyres\nBolt-on cable guides on underside of down tube\nThree bottle cage mounts – seat tube, down tube, underside of down tube\nFlat mount rear brake on the chainstay\n\nFork specification\n\nStraight 1 1\/8” steerer\nFlat mount brake\n100x12mm thru axle\nBottle cage mounts on fork blades\nRack mounts\nMudguard\/fender mounts\nHole for internal dynamo cable in right fork leg\n\n","hasVariant":[{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540015842#variant","@type":"Product","image":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Screenshot2023-02-23at10.47.27.png?v=1677166505\u0026width=1920","name":"Singular Gryphon Mk3 Frameset - Small","offers":{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540015842#offer","@type":"Offer","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock","price":"850.00","priceCurrency":"GBP","url":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540015842"}},{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540048610#variant","@type":"Product","image":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Screenshot2023-02-23at10.47.27.png?v=1677166505\u0026width=1920","name":"Singular Gryphon Mk3 Frameset - Medium","offers":{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540048610#offer","@type":"Offer","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock","price":"850.00","priceCurrency":"GBP","url":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540048610"}},{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540081378#variant","@type":"Product","image":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Screenshot2023-02-23at10.47.27.png?v=1677166505\u0026width=1920","name":"Singular Gryphon Mk3 Frameset - Large","offers":{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540081378#offer","@type":"Offer","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/InStock","price":"850.00","priceCurrency":"GBP","url":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540081378"}},{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540114146#variant","@type":"Product","image":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Screenshot2023-02-23at10.47.27.png?v=1677166505\u0026width=1920","name":"Singular Gryphon Mk3 Frameset - Extra Large","offers":{"@id":"\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540114146#offer","@type":"Offer","availability":"http:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock","price":"850.00","priceCurrency":"GBP","url":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset?variant=43866540114146"}}],"name":"Singular Gryphon Mk3 Frameset","productGroupID":"8034382905570","url":"https:\/\/projektride.co.uk\/products\/singular-gryphon-mk3-frameset"}
