The challenge was this: Build a serious steel bike and give it only the attributes that matter most. Make it fast and comfortable on pavement, but also confident and rule-abiding on degraded surfaces. The Enginerd result is the Preamble, a utility bike for road and gravel that proves you don't have to cut corners or discount coupons to make a more affordable steel bike. Just keep it simple.
Preamble can be fitted with luggage racks and mudguards and carry a few bottles of water. Surly was bred by stealing the basic cable, after all. Flexible and efficient on asphalt, the Preamble's double-butted main triangle offers a resplendent riding feel and stands up to the abuse of life's inevitable potholes. Customize it with flat bars, drop bars, a basket or panniers. On the road to steel euphoria, Preamble is the gateway drug.
