I have a Swift and a Gryphon and am even in the process of building the Gryphon back up as more of a rough stuff tourer - even got a quote for having it repainted rosso red - the same as a Pergrine, but it just won't be the same. Damn you Singular Sam! Tell me they're rubbish.

They're rubbish! 😀
Pah, Peregrine's!
I got mine way back in 2008, and I certainly won't get another (until I break / loose that one)! 😀
Other criticisms ... well, mine needs new chainrings now, and I put the blame for that squarely on Sam for making such a ridable bike that stuff gets worn out through repeated use.

I've not long fitted OO Mungo's, and they suit it if anything, [i]better[/i] than the OO Midges it had before (and it was great on those).

(I'd add an Osprey to your list of existing Singulars - given that they compare equally with the others. Actually I'd say *I'd* add one ... but I won't (as I've already got one)).
😉
I'm wondering about a respray on my Peregrine - possibly a nice kinda blue-green with an ivory head / seat panel?
Can't stand mine 🙂

Really versatile bike. I've had mine single speed, with an Alfine and derailleurs. Been used as a commuter, Audax, light off-road and just riding around. Comfortable for long rides, couldn't ask for more
Meh 😆
As above. Delightful versatile bike, just what I needed.
Singlespeed - check.
Ready to roll, geared.
Light tourer in out of the way areas - definitely
Had tried to get photos up but not showing at the moment 🙁
Mostly out of stock though 🙁
There's a guy I ride past on the busway with one, he's always cheery looking, probably nothing to do with the bike though 😉
Fairly sure that's not me. I'm usually in relatively good mood on the bike, but I'd be surprised if I [i]look[/i] cheery!

Kcal, how is the setup with front panniers? I'm thinking of loading mine the same, any handling issues?
Will grab a few photos tomorrow to add 🙂
They're actually pretty good. I set up for front rack as I didn't have much kit and had front panniers anyway. It's a Tubus rack - pretty solid. They had some load but not too much. Never really a problem, but I was bimbling along really.
The only issue was going through narrower rutted tracks, or through tracks with heather tussocks - they'd tend to snag. But as more stability - very stable bike indeed.
what max size tires will fit - i cant see the size of the thunder burts on nedrapiers build.
Be quick. I believe Sam might be phasing them out (hopes to be proven wrong).
Not mine anymore, but it used to be:

Alfine 8 on the back, LX dynamo on the front. mmmm.. shiny shiny.
Was heavy and a little too short for me but the feeling of swooping down Hartside Pass in the middle of the night was unbeatable.
Be quick. I believe Sam might be phasing them out (hopes to be proven wrong).
I believe that's the case. Certainly Sam, & Wiggle, only have size Small left.

Much as I'd love to sadly it looks like you're right 🙁 From the Singular website:
Unfortunately the Peregrine production is currently on hold. With the development of the disc Kite I'm afraid I can't really justify having three steel, drop bar, disc brake, 700c frames in my small line up. I hope the day will come when it is possible to reintroduce the model to my range but I can't say when that will be. I do currently still have a couple of S size frames in stock
Hopefully on hold means just that, be a shame to see them stop being made.
.what max size tires will fit
It depends ... 😉
I've briefly had Bonty XR3's in 2.1 on mine (on Mavic A719 rims), and the rear *just* caught the band for the F-mech - there was still good frame and fork clearance tho'.

(A slimmer band-on mech which (more) properly fits the ST diameter, rather than the one-size-fits-all 'conventional' Deore f-mech I'm using, or, a top-swing mech further down the tube would have avoided that issue, (as would going SS / 1 x [i]n[/i])).
2.1 Thunder Burts in the last of my photos up there. 3mm either side of the tyre in the front, bit more space in the back (mech band notwithstanding - as per ocb - I'm on 1x10 here). The lugs on the fork crown take up a wee bit of room.
I've had 2.3s onbut that was running single speed. Plenty of frame clearance though!
So, given you cant get a Peregrine anymore would something like the Surly Straggler be equivalent?
Pretty close. Track ends rather than EBB, but looks like you can certainly load it up!

Big fan, very comfy. Though I have only used it for commuting and cruising about.

love mine too, it's my most versatile frame, but the size medium is too small for me so will probably let it go at some point.

ps the log pile is considerably larger since those pics were taken.
Ready for its shake down ride tomorrow:

Glad we were able to talk you out of it 😀
It was a close run thing 😉
