Cross Check Complete

We've offered the Cross Check as a frameset and as a complete bike for years. In fact, The Cross Check was our third frame and first complete bike, and the only model we offered as a complete for years.   The frame itself is Surly's own 4130 cromoly steel, and provides a relatively relaxed and forgiving ride.  Like all our bikes, the parts package was chosen for its value, durability and purpose.  We sell it as a 2x9 speed, but you could add a third ring if you wanted.  Or you could make it a single speed.  Or a fixie.  People use it for commuting, light touring, singletrack riding, hauling kids, just about anything you can do on a bike. It has changed very little over the years because it works very well as it is.
