like a Peregrine, which seem to be like hens teeth, any suggestions for an alternative.

Sounds like a cryptic crossword question.

Are you looking for an alternative to the adjective?

I wanted one and ended up going for a gryphon. Great ride.
But does depend what you want to do with it? Drop bar, flat bar. Tourer. It's a very versatile bike?

I have a Peregrine in a garage in York that I'm unlikely to use again. Email me if you might be interested.

Based on my research from 2 years ago, there isn't. Most of the CX type bikes don't take monster cross tyres. The odd one that does such as the Fargo will not be of the same design eg the Fargo is a hefty tourer type thing. Also the Peregrine has thye ability to run many hubs types. It seems pretty unique.However if you only want something similar to a Peregrine then you are spoilt for choice.

Next batch of Peregrines has just gone to paint and should be here late February or early March. Taking deposits now which gets you 10 % off when they arrive. All details are on the site.

Just out of curiosity, how many Peregrines are out there, Sam?

Good point Cupra - I think Jelle has some stock and my dealer in Germany still has stock in some sizes.

Ned - about 400 in total.
