Description of the

Born on gravel. Raised on the pavement

Straggler is designed for cross-over exploration in a wide range of terrain conditions. It's a day trip and a weekend ride. It's a road bike for rough roads, a non-race cyclocross bike, a practical townie, a lightweight touring bike and an all-weather commuter bike. It's a steel gravel bike that performs excellently on the road. Think of it as a "road bike for mountain bikers". If you only have room for one bike in your life, Straggler can (and should) be your only bike.

Straggler's capabilities go far beyond tarmac. It also works well for light touring setups. We're talking frame bags, seat bags and "credit card touring" rather than full-blown touring. Straggler also works well in our 8 and 24 pack racks so you have heavier loading options.

Available in 650b and 700c wheel diameters

Storage options for pannier rack and mudguards

Forward-facing horizontal dropouts for single-speed compatibility and wheelbase adjustability

Space for 650b x 41 mm or 700c x 41 mm tyres with mudguards!
