Surly Preamble Flat Bar Bike - 700c Steel Best Buds Green Large

Meet the Surly Preamble Flat Bar

Designed for riders stepping out of the car and into mixed terrain, the Surly Preamble Flat Bar in Best Buds Green blends durability with everyday versatility. The 100% Surly Chromoly steel frame and fork deliver a forgiving, lively ride feel that handles city streets and light gravel with equal confidence. The flat-bar setup puts you in an upright, controlled position for all-day comfort and quick, stable handling.

Built for Everyday Rides

A single bike that covers commutes, errands, and weekend explorations. It’s disc-brake specific for reliable stops in rain or shine, and it’s friendly to both 1x and 2x drivetrains. The Preamble makes it easy to leave the car behind and enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing practicality.

Thoughtful Geometry and Mounts

Sloped top tubes on smaller sizes improve standover and comfort, while the larger frame sizes maintain confident reach. Racks, fenders, and two bottle cages (seat tube and down tube) give you ample cargo options for every trip. It shares a single-position vertical dropout with Surly Bridge Club, keeping maintenance simple.
