Surly Preamble
A steel-framed workhorse that eats potholes for breakfast.
The Surly Preamble is a no-nonsense, steel commuter that doesn’t flinch at busted pavement, bad weather, or daily abuse. It’s built for city life, but versatile enough for weekend rides, light touring, and the occasional detour through the park. The chromoly frame smooths out rough roads (shoutout to Edgewater), and its rack and fender mounts mean you can gear up for whatever your day throws at you.
Surly calls it “all the bike you need,” and we agree. It’s minimal without being boring, tough without being clunky, and surprisingly fun to ride whether you’re heading to work, grabbing groceries, or getting lost on purpose.
 
Highlights:
  • Durable double-butted 4130 chromoly steel frame (rides like butter)
  • Flat bars for comfort and control in city traffic
  • Disc brakes for reliable stopping in rain or shine
  • Tons of clearance for fenders, racks, and wide tires
  • Built to be ridden every day, and then some
 
🔧 Key Features:
  • 4130 Chromoly steel frame and fork – durable, smooth-riding, and built to last
  • Flat handlebars – great for upright comfort and city control
  • Mechanical disc brakes – reliable stopping power in all weather
  • Rack and fender mounts – customize it for commuting, carrying cargo, or all-weather riding
  • Wide tire clearance – fits up to 41mm tires (with fenders), for a cushier ride
  • 1x drivetrain – simple, efficient shifting with fewer things to fuss with
 
Best for: Daily commuting, year-round riding, hauling stuff, casual weekend rides, and people who like bikes that last forever.
