The horizontal top tube and the neat fork crown were a reason for us to include this bike years ago in our range of bikes. As the name implies, actually a cross bike. We sell this bike  with a variety of configurations: The Surly Straggler is suitable as a city bike with hub gear as well as a Single-speed Gravel Bike with 44 mm tire width or as a fast touring bike with racing tires for the trip with luggage. An incredibly versatile frame from the dimensions, but clearly closer to a road bike than a mountain bike.
Do you like it to go a little faster, and do you like wide tires? Are you looking for a bike that you can basically do anything with? Take the Surly Straggler.

It´s available as 650b version!
Why 650 b wheels, is´n that something for MTB?
One answer could be: Smaller people need smaller bicycle frames and accordingly smaller wheels. The Straggler 650b is available from frame height 38 cm.
But even big people get their money’s worth at the Straggler.
The frame size selection from 38cm to 62cm is lonely top!

Available as complete bikes, individually assembled or as a frame kit.
