I'm really surprised a company out there isn't marketing a drop bar MTB...we all know trends and marketing are everything, and a drop bar MTB seems like it would have real potential. When I thought mine might be among the departed I was already thinking about the next one - that's how much I love this thing. They're versatile, comfortable over distance and with a tire change are ready for whatever you need. Heck, combine trends and give it 650bs, or 700cs and call it a drop 9r.
If I had it to do over again, I'd have used STI rather than the Commands.
