Surly Cross Check Frameset 2011

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), long-popular measurements for things like front derailleur clamp and seatpost, and our Gnot-Rite rear spacing that takes mountain and road hubs.
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.

Long, semi-horizontal dropouts are single speed compatible, FFF stays allow fat tyres, mudguard mounts and the Gnot-Rite Universal rear hub spacing.. allows MTB or Road hubs. All in all, a race suitable Cross frameset, that can go touring, commuting or just beer running...
