Bridge Club Frameset - Squid Ink

The Surly Bridge Club Frameset in Squid Ink is a chromoly touring and bikepacking platform built for riders who want one frame that stays composed on pavement while still feeling confident when the route turns to gravel and dirt. Its straightforward, load-ready design makes it easy to build into a practical commuter, a fully kitted touring bike with racks and panniers, or a modern bikepacking setup with frame bags—without feeling over-specialized in any one direction.

5 build-ready advantages for mixed-surface touring

1. 100% Surly Chromoly Construction - Double-butted main triangle balances durability and ride feel for long days with or without a full load
2. Chromoly 1-1/8" Threadless Fork - Clean, modern headset compatibility with the steering stability riders want for touring and off-road detours
3. Wide Tire Clearance - Fits up to 700 x 47mm tires (with or without fenders) or 27.5 x 2.8" for more comfort and traction; with fenders, clears 27.5 x 2.6"
4. Disc Brake-Specific Frame - Designed around disc brakes for consistent stopping power in wet weather and under heavy cargo
5. Touring/Bikepacking Mount Coverage - Rack and fender mounts plus four sets of three-pack mounts support cages, bottles, and gear storage where it makes sense for the build
