Custom Surly Straggler – Subtropic Algae

This custom Surly Straggler was built as the ultimate all-terrain bike (ATB), blending classic steel styling with premium modern components. Finished in Subtropic Algae, it features carefully selected bronze, gold, and espresso accents that give the bike a unique handcrafted look without feeling overly matched.

Built around a Surly Straggler steel frame and fork, this bike features a Microshift Sword 1x10 drivetrain with a wide-range 11–48T cassette, Velo Orange Growtac Equal hydraulic disc brakes in gold, and custom wheels built with bronze SimWorks Stand Alone rims. The Continental Terra Hardpack 700x50c tubeless tires and SimWorks CowCow handlebars create a comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride on pavement, gravel, and backroads.
