Used SURLY Midnight Special (eirin Original Custom Bike) | An adult all-road bike that freely connects paved roads and gravel.
This eirin original custom bike enhances the existing charm of the complete bike, further refining its "ride, handling, and worldview."
The SURLY Midnight Special is a road-plus bike that represents SURLY, combining the agility of a road bike with the versatility of a touring bike. This original custom bike rebuilds a used Midnight Special frame with eirin's unique perspective.
While retaining the comfortable ride provided by the supple 4130 chromoly frame, we've added a highly versatile riding position thanks to the Corner Bar, excellent expandability with the FORMOSA crank, and superior rotational performance from the CHRIS KING headset and bottom bracket. The result is a bike seamlessly enjoyable on everything from paved roads to rough asphalt and gravel.
Furthermore, by combining it with BTP woven bar tape and a MILANO FLITE BONNIE saddle, the specifications not only deliver performance but also a sense of joy in ownership and the pleasure of nurturing it. This is an all-road bike you'll want to keep for a long time, not just one focused on speed.

While the MIDNIGHT SPECIAL is a highly accomplished model to begin with, this bike is finished as "a bike that allows for a little more freedom and a longer companionship."
The unique position provided by the Corner Bar offers an exquisite balance – not as aggressively leaned as drop bars, yet still allowing for a road bike-like forward-leaning posture. It naturally accompanies you whether you're cruising through the city or going on a long ride on the weekend.
The smooth rotational performance of CHRIS KING and the high practicality of the FORMOSA crank are appealing, but the true essence of this bike lies beyond its specs, in the "atmosphere that makes you want to go anywhere." This is a bike we recommend for those who want to ride according to their mood, without being restricted by paved roads or gravel, genre or distance.
