"That's right, you read it correctly. Minnesota's Surly Bicycles wants you to up your daily fiber as they join the masses, and spec some carbon bits on the new 700c Black Cherry Fizz Midnight Special. Don't worry, if you prefer your Midnight Special with a steel fork and trusty aluminum hoops, come this Spring you can get that if you want. But, more on that at a later date."
"We all know that Surly's been flyin' the "steel and steel only" flag for jeez, almost 30 years now? But now they're saying that "just because steel is real, doesn't mean everything else is fake". I mean, that's always been the consensus among most cyclists, and I tend to agree. I don't think Surly has lost its core values and given in to the mindset that "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" by adding some carbon fiber to the Midnight Special."
Surly Bicycles equips the 700c Black Cherry Fizz Midnight Special with a carbon fiber fork and carbon rims while preserving the tig-welded chromoly steel frame. The combination aims to leverage carbon's vibration-damping and strength-to-weight advantages to increase comfort and speed on both smooth pavement and rough, pothole-strewn roads. The Midnight Special remains positioned as a versatile road bike that balances spirited on-pavement performance with confidence on degraded surfaces. Steel's ride character and durability persist, and customers can still choose a steel fork with aluminum hoops as an alternative option in spring.
