Surly Cross Check - perfect, or so we reckon.
Is there nothing you couldn't do with one of these? Not much we reckon.
Singlespeed, touring, CX, commuting, off roading... all sorts of fun. A truly versatile frame to be built up a few different ways. It could be the one perfect frame.
The Cross-Check has been good to us. No secret why. It's because it's been good to you. Why do people like it so much? Well, for starters, it's steel. Steel rides like nothing else (when was the last time you saw a spring made of aluminum?), takes a lot of crap, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Then we threw dowwwwwn some good ideas, like semi-horizontal dropouts with a derailleur hanger, our FFF stays so you can run big, fat tires (even with fenders), and our Gnot-Rite rear spacing that takes mountain and road hubs. And, to make assembly as easy as possible, this frame features long-popular measurements for things like the front derailleur clamp and seatpost.
What does all this mean to you? Options, kid, that's what. Get yer freak on. Gears? Great. Single-speed? No sweat. Commuter? Touring bike? Grocery getter? Bring it on. Or build it as a bonafide ’cross bike and race it. It likes it.
Best of all, it’s actually affordable. You’ll need to ask your local shop what they’ll charge you, but suffice to say that it is among the most affordable of well-designed, well-built frames around. Whether it’s the latest addition to your herd or the only bike you own, the Cross-check will amaze you with its comfort, versatility and affordability.
