Midnight Special shines on pot-holed, deteriorating pavement and the occasional long stretch of gravel. Its 650b road plus tires eat up road chatter and absorb all the bumps in the road like the champion it was designed to be. When it comes to road bikes, we just want to toss a few bananas into our pockets and see where the road takes us. We seek out varied surfaces on our rides and frequently go from pavement to gravel to shittier pavement. Midnight Special allows us to accomplish all of that quite comfortably. Higher volume tires allow better fine tuning of tire pressure on varying surfaces and create a wider contact patch for increased tractionModern road standards like flat-mount disc brakes, 12mm front and rear thru-axles, and a 44mm head tubeClearance for 650b x 60mm or 700c x 42mm tires without fenders (650b x 50mm or 700c x 38mm with fenders) Specifications/Tech Frame 4130 CroMoly, double-butted main triangle, ED coated, TIG-welded Fork 4130 CroMoly, ED coated, TIG-weldedSeatpost Clamp 30.0mm Surly StainlessCrankset Sram Rival 40TBottom Bracket Sram GXPRear derailleur Sram Rival 1Cogset SunRace 11-42 w/ 1.85 spacerChain KMC EPT Headset Cane Creek 40Brakes TRP Spyre Flat MountShifter/Brake levers Sram Rival Rotors TRP 160mmStem ProMax DA-296, 31.8 4 boltHandlebar Salsa Cowbell 3Saddle WTB Volt Sport, steel railsSeatpost ProMax SP-2019 27.2x300mm non-offset (for 40-50) Black or ProMax SP-2016 27.2x300mm offset (for 54-64cm) Black"Front hub 12x 100mm thru-axle, 32hRear hub 12x 142mm thru-axle, 32hRims Alex Adventurer 2, 32H, tubeless readyTires WTB Horizon 650b x 47mm
