SURLY CROSSCHECK FRAMESET
The Cross Check is a cyclocross bike by category, but we try to design a lot of versatility into our stuff. You can ride it on the road or off. It’s got lots of space for fat tires and for fenders.
Neither the frame nor the component spec of the bike have changed much since we introduced it almost a decade ago because…well, why should it? We have made a few changes, we added mid-blade eyelets to the fork for mounting a front rack. This isn’t a touring bike per se, but it will handle lighter touring loads, and a front rack can make that easier. This year we gave it a new fork crown too, with threaded eyelets for adding…things. Need a place to mount a spare light? Got a mini rack that needs anchor points? You’re covered.
It’s one of the best riding, most versatile bikes around.

Description
The Fog Cutter is an endurance road/road sport design. We designed it to fit fatter tires, but the frame angles are more road bike than CX or gravel bike. It can float you over chewed up asphalt better than most bikes in this category. This is the frame you want for long days in the saddle and the most demanding commutes.
- Tange Prestige double butted CrMo steel front triangle; butted CrMo on rear triangle; heat treated throughout
- Road sport geometry
- Rear rack & fender mounts
- International disc mounts (rear mount is located on the chainstay for stiffer performance and also keeps the caliper out of the way of rear racks)
- Available matching straight blade carbon fork w/ aluminum steerer
- Fits 700x38c tires with fenders - 1-1/8" size headtube
- 27.2mm post size

Description
The original inspiration for the Wolverine was “monster cross”, but it is seriously so much more. Its geometry is stable enough for off road touring, but sporty enough for all-around adventure. With its sliding dropouts, you can turn it into a single-speed CX bike. With a split seatstay, it is compatible with the Gates Carbon Belt Drive.
The primary differences between the 3.0 and v. 4 Type-B is an extra set of water bottle bosses, and additional stack height on most sizes.
- Tange Prestige heat-treated CrMo front triangle; butted CrMo rear end
- Clearance for 700x45c tires w/ fenders
- Rear hub spacing:135mm (10mm QR, can be upgraded to 142mm 12mm TA with different inserts )
- Gates Carbon belt drive compatible
- IRD Broski sliding dropouts allow for geared or single-speed builds
Optional Matching Forks: A) lugged flat crown standard QR axle, Tange Infinity CrMo steel fork; double eyelets pannier rack and mini rack mounts. B) Unicrown straight blade 15mm thru-axle fork
- Braze-ons for rear rack and fenders (disc brake-compatible racks only)
- Three sets of water bottle bosses
- 1-1/8” size headtube -

Description
The Smoothie HP is the “high protein” version of our Smoothie road frame that was part of our line for almost 20 years.
Extra large diameter, thin-wall Tange Prestige chromoly coupled with modern touches like thru-axles and compact geometry give this frame increased power transfer and road feel while still delivering a composed and plush ride at all speeds. The re-designed geometry combines a comfortable higher stack with a shorter wheelbase that rewards skillful riders.
Frame Features:
- Tange Prestige heat-treated double butted CrMo steel
- Extra oversized down tube and chainstays for greater pedaling stiffness
- Ovalized top tube for increased lateral stiffness and vertical compliance
- Size specific tubing (Larger diameter down tubes on the larger sizes)
- Comfortable high stack matched with a tighter wheelbase than the typical big brand endurance road frame
- Replaceable modular dropouts (12 x 142mm bolt-on thru-axle, fits flat mount disc brake)
- BSA Threaded bottom bracket shell
- Rear rack/fender mounts
- Max tire size: 700x32c with fenders
- Two water bottle boss sets
- 6 sizes: 48, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60
Fork Features:
- Carbon Fiber
- 43mm rake (48mm on size 48 and 52cm)
- Fits 700x32 tires with fenders
- 12 x 100mm QR thru-axle, flat mount brake compatible
- Tapered alloy steerer
- Internal cable routing -
