What is the Straggler? Simply put, it's a hugely versatile road or cyclocross frame and, unlike the Cross Check, it's designed for use with disc brakes rather than rim brakes. Thanks to wide semi-horizontal dropouts, you can ride the Straggler with a shifter or as a fixie/single speeder. Even larger tires are no problem here.
Moreover, the frame is permanently protected from corrosion by the ED coating used by Surly and works well in all weather conditions - ideal for daily use, touring or city cycling. It is equally suitable for day trips, weekend tours or cyclocross races. If at any point you want to change your setup, you can - the Straggler can handle almost anything.
