Surly Preamble Drop Bar Bike - 650b/700c Steel Red Hot Cheddar

The Surly Preamble is designed to introduce riders to Surly's pavement and gravel line, highlighting the brand's most essential features: durable custom steel tubing, a renowned ride feel, and the right mounts for running racks, fenders, and bottle cages. Available in flat-bar and drop-bar configurations, it's disc-brake specific and shares a single-position vertical dropout with the Surly Bridge Club. The frame is constructed from 100% Surly Chromoly steel with a double-butted main triangle and a rigid steel fork. Five frame sizes are available to fit nearly every rider, with a slightly sloped top tube on XS and Small frames for improved standover and comfort. The bike is friendly with both 1x and 2x drivetrains. The Preamble features mounts for racks, fenders, and two bottle cages located on the seat tube and down tube. Tire clearance accommodates 650b x 41mm tires on XS–S frame sizes (650b x 38mm with fenders) and 700c x 41mm tires on M–XL frame sizes (700c x 38mm with fenders). Whether you're a new weekend rider or a veteran commuter, the Preamble makes it easier than ever to get out of the car and onto tough, comfortable Chromoly steel.
