Redefining versatility with the Straggler Frameset, from the renowned brand Surly. Cleverly designed, the Straggler echos the popular Cross-Check in many respects but with one significant tweak - the addition of disc brakes. An upgrade that many cycling aficionados have long been awaiting.

Not stopping at disc brakes, we've opted for an innovative design for the rear dropouts. Achieving a semi-closed, horizontal form, this new style can comfortably cater for both singlespeed and geared drivetrains. Built-in stop screws from the back ensure the wheel is firm and ready to face your toughest rides, while innovatively placed forward-mounted stop screws prevent wheel-slippage even under extreme pedalling force. Further evolving from its Cross-Check origins, the Straggler opts for a 135mm rear dropout spacing for a wider availability of disc hub options.

Taking functionality in its stride, the Straggler equips all Cross-Check's braze-ons for fenders, racks, and bottle cages, preparing you for any journey. Its geometry is a respectful nod to its predecessor, with very closely matched angles and tube lengths, but with tweaks that make the Straggler unique. What sets it apart is its pure adaptability, not just a day-tripper, not just a weekender but so much more. It?s a 'rough road' road bike, a nonchalant cyclocross bike, a practical townie, a light-duty touring bike, an all-weather commuter. And the ultimate feature? The ability to alter setups, transforming it into a completely different ride. Versatility and freedom in one frameset ? now that?s something special.
