Surly Midnight Special Frameset

This frameset is designed for endurance road riding. It excels on long-distance rides where comfort is a priority, handling everything from smooth tarmac to rougher, broken pavement with ease.

Yes, the frame is designed for versatility and supports both 650b and 700c wheel sizes. This allows you to tune the bike's handling and tire clearance based on your specific terrain preferences.

Surly uses steel for its natural vibration-damping qualities, which provide a smooth, compliant ride feel that is highly desirable for long hours in the saddle. It is also exceptionally durable and easy to maintain over the long term.

The frame is compatible with standard disc brakes, which provide reliable stopping power in all weather conditions. Ensure your chosen brake calipers are compatible with the flat-mount or post-mount standards specified for this frame.

The Midnight Special utilizes modern thru-axle standards, featuring 142mm rear spacing and 100mm front spacing. This setup increases stiffness and security compared to traditional quick-release systems.
