Surly Preamble Flat Bar Bike Nothing More is Needed. Nothing Less Will Do.The challenge was thus: Build a serious steel bike and give it only the attributes that matter most. Make it quick and comfortable on pavement, as well as confident and compliant on degraded surfaces. What the Enginerds put forth is Preamble, a pavement and gravel utility worker that proves you don’t need to cut corners or clip coupons to make a more affordable steel bike. You just need to keep shit simple.Preamble can run racks and fenders and carry a couple water bottles. Surly was raised on stealing basic cable, after all. Smooth and efficient on asphalt, Preamble’s double-butted main triangle provides a resplendent ride feel and withstands abuse from life’s inevitable potholes. Make it your own with flat bars, drop bars, a basket, or bags. On the road to steel euphoria, Preamble is the gateway drug.Let facts be submitted to a candid world: Offered in flat-bar and drop-bar configurationsEasy T-Shirt sizing to fit nearly every rider (XS,S,M,L,XL)Sloping top tubes on XS and Small frames for improved standover and comfortTo offer the best rider experience for every frame size, XS and S frames get 650b wheelsets while M–XL get 700cCustom-cast single-position vertical dropoutSpecificationsComponentsPerformanceFrameSurly Preamble, 100% Chromoly steel tubing, E.D. coatedForkSurly Preamble, 100% Chromoly steel fork, Disc OnlySeat Post ClampSurly Stainless 30.0HeadsetVP 1-1/8″ ThreadlessStemKalloy 31.8SaddleSelle Italia X BaseHandlebarKalloy, 35mm rise, 9-degree backsweepRear DerailleurmicroSHIFT RD-M5185MShiftersmicroSHIFT Acolyte XpressBrake leversAvid FR-5Brake callipersAvid BB5 MechanicalBottom BracketSamoxRotorsSRAM 160mm, front and rearChainKMC Z8.3CassettemicroSHIFT 12-42t, 8-speedFront TyreKenda Kwik Tendril 700c x 35mm (MD/LG/XL sizes) & Kenda Standard 650b x 1.35 (XS/SM sizes)Rear TyreKenda Kwik Tendril 700c x 35mm (MD/LG/XL sizes) & Kenda Standard 650b x 1.35 (XS/SM sizes)Front HubNovatec, 6-bolt disc, 32h, QRRear HubNovatec, 6-bolt disc, 32h, QRRim21mm, 32hAll specifications are subject to change without notice.Paint ColourBest Buds GreenFrame sizeXS, S, M, L, XLfavoriteCustomer Service GuaranteeExpect outstanding customer service that is personalised to meet your needs.hubFree Assembly & SetupOur team of experienced mechanics will handle the assembly and setup for you.build6 Month TuneupOur expert service team will give your bike a free tune-up within the first 6 months.vpn_keyGarage 529 RegistrationWe will sign you up to Garage 529 security and provide you with a unique code.
