Bridge Surveyor Frameset
Details
100% Hand Made in Canada
From asphalt, to rugged roads, to gravel, Surveyor has you covered. Designed for optimum performance with 28-40 mm tires, Bridge have engineered and hand built a bike to handle the entire spectrum of your all-road needs. Surveyor was created with the goal of creating a modern classic: mating thoroughly modern technology and thinking to a classic silhouette and timeless features, making Surveyor a unique choice for the distinguished rider.
COMFORTABLE
It’s (almost) all about the seat-tube! Bridge started with a sloped top tube (8-10 degrees) which allows for more seatpost exposure and thus more compliance. After much engineering and analysis they chose to use a round seat-tube for a 27.2 seatpost: it is lighter, more durable, but more than anything, it is MORE COMFORTABLE.
AERO
Why be slower if you don’t have to? Bridge didn’t give up comfort for their aerodynamics, especially since frontal aero is the key.
• Fully internal cable routing
• Wider fork stance for aerodynamics with bigger tires
• D shaped downtube
• Proprietary fork for ideal fork-to-frame transition
• Stack and reach within 5% of most race bikes
STIFF
The downtube is around 60mm in diameter, creating monstrous power transfer. Up front, the proprietary fork with tapered steerer was designed to rail without beating you up. Plus, there are near limitless cockpit combinations that you can choose based on your preferences.
LIGHT
At ~900 grams (no fork or paint) it is close to best in class for the all-road category. Because the Surveyor is handmade to incredibly high standards and quality controlled at every step - achieving light weights without sacrificing durability is a reality.
WHAT IS THE WIDEST TIRE I CAN FIT ON A SURVEYOR?
Bridge have tested up to 40c treaded tires with no frame or fork interference. You might be able to fit wider, depending on your tire brand and rim width, or you might find that for very muddy courses a 38c tire might be better for clearance.
WHAT TYPE OF BOTTOM BRACKETS DOES SURVEYOR USE?
They designed Surveyor to use a T47-86 Threaded bottom bracket. These are a standard in the industry and are compatible with all brands of cranksets.
WHAT TYPE OF HEADSET DOES SURVEYOR USE?
This frame and fork use a 52mm (1.5”) bearing (IS 52 45°/45°) top and (IS 52 36°/45°) bottom to allow for internally run cables. The fork steerer is a tapered 1-1/8” - 1-1/2”.
IS THERE AN OWNERS MANUAL FOR SURVEYOR?
Yes, here.
WHAT IS THE WARRANTY?
There is a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork against manufacturing defects, as well as a crash replacement discount. Full details here.
WHERE ARE BRIDGE BIKES MADE?
Bridge manufacture their frame and fork in their facility in Toronto, Canada. More about that here.
WHERE IS THE SERIAL NUMBER ON MY BIKE?
Your serial number is adhered on the underside of your bottom bracket.
DO THE HOSES AND WIRES NEED TO BE RUN INTERNALLY?
Yes, Surveyor is designed to only have them run internally from the headset back. You can run them fully internal through the bar and stem, or externally from the shifters using a top-cap entry method, but all cables or wires will be internal from the headtube back.
You can use either 1x or 2x drivetrains. If running 1x, remove the front derailleur clamp.
CAN SURVEYOR BE BUILT WITH MECHANICAL GEARS AND BRAKES?
Yes, you can use mechanical 1x from any brand or 2x gearing, as long as it’s Shimano. SRAM and Campagnolo use a different front derailleur setup, so those can only be 1x systems.
CAN SURVEYOR BE USED AS A GRAVEL BIKE?
Yes. We have tested Surveyor on all types of terrain, from smooth paved roads to off-road single track.
HOW DO I FIX ANY SCRATCHES OR DAMAGE TO MY FRAME?
Bridge use AkzoNobel Aerospace Paint on their bikes which is much more resistant to chips and scratches. If you do notice any damage, the best option is to contact them and they will work with you to determine the best steps for repair.
