Surly Midnight Special 700c - Black Cherry Fizz
by Surly
This Midnight Special is special. It's the first bike Surly has ever combined with carbon fiber. Yes, there's a years-long paper trail of touting the benefits of steel and steel alone — but just because steel is real doesn't mean everything else is fake. Carbon fiber has its own thing going for it, like an incredible strength-to-weight ratio and a knack for reducing road chatter, something you'll thank Surly for halfway through your next century on bumpy backroads.
Carbon fiber helps make the Midnight Special what it was always meant to be: part hustle and part muscle, a road bike that feels spirited on fresh pavement yet transitions smoothly into the seedy underbelly of road riding, where the asphalt crumbles away and potholes threaten to throw you off-balance.
