Steel Commuter and Gravel Bike Preamble is a hard-boiled steel commuter built for comfort, durability, and buffoonery on pavement and gravel. 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 configurations - Easy 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 comfort - To offer the best rider experience for every frame size, XS and S frames get 650b wheelsets while M–XL get 700c - Custom-cast single-position vertical dropout

Hybrid doesn't do it justice. When we sat down to engineer our urban commuter, we wanted to do something different. Something fast. Something fun. And, most importantly, something people would want to ride. And isn't a Hybrid. It's an Urban Assault bike. And it's a blast. Slip through your city like a shadow. Subtle, stylish, and sporty – your perfect urban assault vehicle is right here. - 8 speeds to conquer your city's toughest streets. - Disc brakes for awesome all-weather stopping power. - Dual chainguard keeps your chain in place over the roughest roads. - WTB Slick 700x32c for a smooth roll and snappy handling. - Rack and fender compatible so you can haul it all and keep yourself dry.

These are the bikes that started it all—now, they're our best-sellers! Speed, style, and simplicity make these bikes the perfect storm of awesome whether you're starting out, getting back into biking after a few years away, or just want to get a feel for riding fixed! - 43cm will come with a rear brake, 650c wheels, and 650x23C tires. Fixed Gear or Freewheel? We chose a flip-flop rear hub to give you the flexibility to ride fixed or freewheel.

Riding freewheel gives you the ability to coast and cruise, just like the single-speed you grew up on! No matter which you choose to ride, the standard front brake guarantees you can stop either way.
