The Preamble is designed to introduce new riders to Surly's road and gravel range, showcasing the brand's essentials: durable custom steel tubing, a renowned ride feel and just the right mounts for racks, mudguards and bottle cages.
This drop-bar version is disc-brake specific and shares its single-position vertical dropout with the Surly Bridge Club. Sloping top tubes on XS and S frames improve standover and comfort, and wheel size is matched to frame size, with 650b on XS and S and 700c on M to XL. For new weekend riders and seasoned commuters alike, it makes it easy to leave the car at home and enjoy tough, comfortable chromoly steel.
A microSHIFT 1x9 drivetrain and Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes keep things simple and reliable. Complete bike spec is subject to change; see the Surly sizing chart for reference.
