Preamble Frameset

Preamble Frameset – Surly
Nothing more is needed. Nothing less will do.

Built around the idea of keeping things simple, the Preamble frameset delivers a no-nonsense steel platform that’s quick on pavement and confident when the road gets rough. It’s a true all-rounder, ready for commuting, gravel, and everyday riding without overcomplicating the build.

The double-butted Chromoly frame brings that classic Surly ride feel, smooth, compliant, and tough enough to handle potholes, curbs, and whatever the city throws at it.

Set it up your way. Flat bar, drop bar, racks, fenders, bags, this is a blank canvas built to be used.
