Surly Straggler 650b Black Gravel Bike Frame – Cyclocross Ready

The Surly Straggler is your ultimate do-it-all machine for any terrain or adventure. Designed for versatility without compromise, this chromoly steel steed adapts effortlessly from daily commutes to weekend gravel trails or light touring expeditions. Built to endure rain-soaked commutes and rugged backroads alike, it’s engineered for riders who demand reliability across diverse scenarios—from urban errands to off-road exploration.

Engineered for Adaptability
With forward-exiting horizontal dropouts featuring wheelbase adjusters, you can seamlessly mix-and-match tires and drivetrains while maintaining singlespeed compatibility. The frame’s full complement of braze-ons—front/rear rack mounts, dual water bottle bosses, and fender eyelets—lets you configure it as an all-weather commuter, rough-road road bike, or light-duty touring rig in minutes. Swap setups seasonally or weekly; this frame grows with your riding ambitions.

Built to Last
Constructed from Surly’s proprietary 4130 double-butted chromoly tubing and TIG-welded for strength, every ride feels smooth yet responsive. An ED-coated finish ensures corrosion resistance even when tackling salt-treated winter roads or dusty gravel paths—all while maintaining a lightweight frame that keeps climbs manageable.

Why Straggler Stands Out
| Feature | Straggler | Competitor Bikes |
|————————–|—————————————-|————————————|
| Adjustable Geometry | Wheelbase/tire flexibility via dropouts | Fixed geometry |
| Durability | ED Coating + Chromoly Steel | Paint-only finishes |
| Mounting Options | Full fender/rack/bottle cage compatibility | Limited mounting points |
| Versatility | Commute/cross/touring/all-weather ready | Specialized use cases only |

Whether you’re a daily commuter seeking reliability in rainstorms or a weekend adventurer tackling rough roads and cyclocross terrain, the Straggler delivers unmatched adaptability without sacrificing performance. Its rugged build and modular design ensure every ride feels like your perfect setup—no compromises required.
