Surly Straggler Frame

The Straggler is a versatile 'do-it-all' frameset. It excels as a daily commuter, a gravel grinder, or a light-duty tourer thanks to its durable steel construction and stable geometry.

This specific version of the Straggler frame is designed specifically for 650b wheels. While some riders experiment with different setups, the geometry and clearance are optimized for 650b to maintain the intended handling characteristics.

The Straggler is disc-brake only. It uses post-mount disc brake calipers, so you will need to ensure your brake set is compatible with that standard.

You can fit tires up to 50mm wide. This provides plenty of room for wider, knobby tires if you plan on riding rougher gravel or dirt paths.

Yes, it is well-equipped for utility. It features extensive braze-ons for racks, fenders, and multiple water bottle cages, making it easy to set up for commuting or bikepacking.

It uses a standard threaded BSA bottom bracket. This is widely considered the most reliable and easiest to service standard for home mechanics.
