Disc Trucker Frameset - 26", Grandpa's Khakis

The Surly Disc Trucker Frameset - 26" in Grandpa's Khakis is a purpose-built steel touring frameset for riders who want predictable handling under load, reliable disc-brake performance, and the mounting options needed for commuting, bikepacking, or long-distance travel. A low bottom bracket and long chainstays prioritize stability and comfort when the bike is carrying front and rear cargo, while the updated fit increases stack height and improves stand-over clearance for all-day control on mixed road surfaces.

1. Touring-first steel chassis - 100% chromoly frame and fork with a double-butted main triangle for a durable ride quality that stays composed when panniers and cages are fully loaded
2. Extended frame life protection - E.D. coating helps protect the inside of the frame from corrosion, a practical advantage for wet-weather commuting and multi-week tours
3. Real-world 26" tire and fender clearance - Fits up to 26 x 2.1" tires with or without fenders to balance comfort, traction, and serviceability for remote travel
4. Carry capacity without compromise - Braze-ons for racks, fenders, and accessories plus fork blade three-pack mounts for additional cages or cargo
5. Modern disc touring standards - Redesigned dropouts support captured 12mm thru-axles and flat-mount disc brakes for consistent wheel alignment and confident braking in rain or with heavy loads
6. Details aimed at self-supported travel - Dynamo hub routing for lighting setups and spare spoke holders for smarter on-route problem solving
