Surly Preamble Details

Please note: Surly bikes are no longer available at BMCR.

But we've got something better.

If you're after a relaxed, comfortable steel bike that makes every ride feel easy, get in touch.

We build custom bikes around how you like to ride, from the frame up.

Designed for road and gravel use, the Surly Preamble has been built for simplicity and durability. It's still nimble on the bitumen but burly enough to take on potholes and fireroads.

Surly have equipped the Preamble with everything it needs for light utility duties. You can whack on mud guards and racks, no problem. It'll also take bottle cages so you don't go thirsty.

For riders on the shorter side, the XS and S frames have a dropped top-tube for extra clearance.

And, of course, that chromoly steel frame (the main triangle is double-butted, donchaknow) will keep the ride smooth for many years.

After all, when you own a Surly, you tend to own it for decades.

  • Chromoly steel
  • 650b in XS and S frames, 700c for M, L and XL
  • Tyre clearance: XS/S - 650b x 41mm rear, 650b x 42mm fork; M-XL - 700c x 41mm rear, 700 x 42mm fork (with or without mud guards)

What You Say

Just wanted to let you know how much I love my Bossi. I’ve had the best summer messing about on it - what a machine! You absolutely nailed it. All your help choosing the size really paid off, it fits like a glove. All-day epic rides are a pleasure with no comfort issues whatsoever. I’ve conquered…Philip Needs
