Preamble Frameset – Black Nothing More is Needed. Nothing Less Will Do. The goal was simple: build a serious steel bike with only the features that truly matter. The result is the Surly Preamble — quick and comfortable on pavement, confident and compliant on rough, broken surfaces. You don’t need to cut corners to create an affordable steel bike; you just need to keep things simple. The Preamble can run racks and fenders and carry multiple bottles or bags. Smooth and efficient on asphalt, its double-butted main triangle delivers Surly’s signature steel ride feel while standing up to daily abuse and potholes. Customize it your way: flat bars, drop bars, commuter setup, basket bike, or gravel rig. On the road to steel euphoria, this is the gateway drug. Key Features Available in flat-bar and drop-bar configurations Easy “T-shirt sizing” (XS, S, M, L, XL) to fit nearly every rider Sloping top tube on XS and S for improved standover height and comfort Wheel sizes matched to frame size: 650b for XS/S, 700c for M–XL Custom-cast single-position vertical dropout Compatible with racks, fenders, bottles, baskets, and bags Frameset Specs FrameSurly Preamble — 100% Chromoly steel tubing, E.D. coated ColorBest Buds Green ForkSurly Preamble — 100% Chromoly steel fork, disc-only Seatpost ClampSurly Stainless 30.0 Notes Specifications subject to change without notice
