Cross-Check is a tough-as-nails, super-versatile road bike that performs astonishingly well on any surface.
Steel Commuter Bike That Can Do it All
There is no such thing as one bike that can do it all, but Cross-Check comes pretty damn close. It's a dyed-in-the-wool commuter and utility rig. It was a "gravel crusher" long before "gravel bikes" existed. Some people have even raced cyclocross on it. Though, we don't necessarily condone that behavior.
Cross-Check was the first complete bike we ever offered. Since then, people have modified them in hundreds of different ways to suit their riding styles and preferences. There’s a reason that nearly every person who has ever worked for Surly has owned one.

Sizing Guide:
When choosing your frame size you should take into account that Surly does not measure the seat tube specifications to the end of the seat tube. For frames with struts on the top tube, this is measured from the middle of the bottom bracket to above the struts. For frames without struts, measure from the middle of the bottom bracket to the top edge of the top tube.
