Rivendells in general have a ton of BB drop. I don't think you will see more drop on any other bike. It's one of the areas that Grant seriously diverges from the traditional crowd. I think one needs to seriously qualify their definition of a "Mountain Bike" before calling the Hunqapillar a Mountain Bike. The Hunqapillar is definitely Rivendell's version of a Mountain Bike, but I would not call it a mountain bike by the mainstream definition.
