Road & Gravel

The Audax Aluminium Road model is for lovers of 700C wheels and 2x close ratio gearing systems. Featuring the same lightweight hydroformed frameset as the 650B version with all the same benefits and accoutrements to help you carry your kit, but now with extra zip from the 700 x 34 mm WTB Byway tyres - what they give up in volume they deliver in speed.
Shimano’s Tiagra 4700 drivetrain complete with a 50 / 34T chainset and 11 - 34T cassette helps to keep your cadence super smooth and TRP Spyre C flat mount disc brakes deliver all the stopping power you could ask for.
The perfect bike for long-distance efforts against the clock.

- The steel Hook is something special, being built from double-butted Columbus Cromor tubing, with a tapered headtube and a T47 bottom bracket.
- XS and S sizes feature 650B wheels, M - XL have 700C options and both run WTB tubeless rims and tyres on sealed hubs.
- A Shimano GRX groupset with a subcompact 46 / 30T crankset, combined with an 11 - 36T cassette helps to keep you spinning up and over the hills, and GRX 400 callipers deliver powerful braking on the descents.
- The frameset is bedecked with mounts for every scenario, including a top tube bag, triple cage mounts and bottle mount options, as well as internal dynamo routing on the full carbon fork.

Nothing More is Needed. Nothing Less Will Do.

The challenge was thus: Build a serious steel bike and give it only the attributes that matter most. Make it quick and comfortable on pavement, as well as confident and compliant on degraded surfaces. What the Enginerds put forth is Preamble, a pavement and gravel utility worker that proves you don’t need to cut corners or clip coupons to make a more affordable steel bike. You just need to keep shit simple.

Preamble can run racks and fenders and carry a couple water bottles. Surly was raised on stealing basic cable, after all. Smooth and efficient on asphalt, Preamble’s double-butted main triangle provides a resplendent ride feel and withstands abuse from life’s inevitable potholes. Make it your own with flat bars, drop bars, a basket, or bags. On the road to steel euphoria, Preamble is the gateway drug.
