Surly Preamble Flat Bar Bike Description:

Classic steel frame soaks up the bumps while being incredibly durable. The simplicity of a 1X drivetrain, time-proven reliable Avid mechanical disc brakes, and a comfortable upright geometry all contribute to a highly versatile bike for commuting, gravel roads, light touring, and plain ole pavement shenanigans.

Very impressed with my first Surly. Partial assembly by Performance bike was excellent! The repacking and shipping was very well done. Sean D. with customer service was an absolute pleasure to work with! Thanks again…I will be a return customer!

Surly Preamble Flat Bar Bike (Skyrim Blue) (700c) (M)
Bought this bike based on my experience with my Surly Karate Monkey. I had been out of the saddle for the past 3 or 4 years, and needed a re-entry bike. This one fits the bill perfectly. Love Surly’s quality build and solid feel. Not the lightest bike around, but I’m not the lightest guy around either. Perfect bike for getting back in the saddle, or for commuting in style, or whatever. And, I love the Skyrim Blue.
Had an issue with the shipment of this bike, and Performance went above and beyond to rectify the problem with a single phone call. So, not only is the bike a winner, but customer service is superior. Maybe this bike’s not for everybody, but it’s perfect for me.
