Surly Midnight Special – Mario

With Mario we made a sportive approach to the well known Surly Midnight Special. The front was upgraded with a Brother Cycles Carbon Gravel fork and orange Hope Tech headset. To underline the sportive look we laced Erase hubs to more aero Duke Road Runner rims and combined the wheelset with fast Tufo Speedero tyres. Drivetrain is a full Shimano GRX 2×12 setup and finishing kit (seatpost, stem and handlebar) ZIPP Service Course with the most comfy SILCA Nastro bar tape. The result is a fast and sportive Endurance / All Road bike that shines on pot-holed, deteriorating pavement and the occasional long stretch of gravel!

The silver Chris King headset is a perfect match. Velo Orange Flat pack rack for transportational needs…
