The Surly Preamble is a hard boiled steel commuter bike built for comfort, durability, and buffoonery on pavement and gravel. 

Designed to introduce unfamiliar riders to Surly’s pavement and gravel line, Preamble highlights Surly’s most essential features: Durable custom steel tubing, a renowned ride feel, and just 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 Surly Bridge Club. For new weekend riders and veteran commuters, Preamble makes it easier than ever to get out of the car and on top of tough and comfortable Chromoly steel.

 

  • Preamble is built with Surly’s ‘Natch steel tubing to delivery the “Surly Ride Feel” that riders have come to expect
  • Custom-cast single-position vertical dropout, as seen on the Bridge Club
  • Fender and rack compatibility with mounts for two bottle cages on all frame sizes
  • Tried-and-true QR axles front and rear for fast, tool-free wheel removal
  • Frame geometry designed to play well with both flat and drop bars
  • Compatible with 1x and 2x drivetrains
  • Five easy-to-understand frame sizes to fit nearly every size of rider
  • Slightly sloped top tube on XS and small frames for improved standover
  • Clearance for 650b x 41mm tires (XS–S) and 700c x 41mm tires (M–XL) with or without fenders

XS and Small bikes come with 650b wheels; Medium, Large, X large bikes come with 700c wheels.
