Pashley Cycles proudly unveils their all-new Roadfinder Collection. A high-quality, performance focused, exquisitely hand-crafted, super versatile bicycle that allows the rider to choose between road, off-road and any combination in-between – all from one frame platform. The Collection includes the Roadfinder, Roadfinder E, Roadfinder X and the Roadfinder X E models – Pashley Cycles
The Pashley Roadfinder Collection consists of frame designs for both conventional and electric models with road and gravel specific builds. Designed, developed, tested and handmade in their UK based factory in Stratford-upon-Avon the brand seamlessly blurs modern technologies, innovation and great British craftmanship with the introduction of 3D printed and laser cut elements at structurally integral junctures. Pashley’s ingenuity intelligently showcases a masterful and unique design that beautifully amplifies the luxurious ride feel that a high-quality hand-crafted steel frame can offer.
“The brief for the Roadfinder project was to develop a collection of extremely versatile bicycles that give cyclists the ability to conquer multiple terrains, journeys and adventures on one beautifully hand-crafted machine. From all-season endurance road rides, off-road gravel trails to bike-packing exploration, this is the ‘Swiss Army Knife of Bicycles’.
‘The Roadfinder collection also perfectly showcases and builds on our heritage of artisan frame-building, appealing to all riders who appreciate true versatility, performance and the unique ride experience you only get from a high-end steel frame, built by hand using the very best materials”. Andy Smallwood, CEO, Pashley
As the brand rides towards its 100-year centenary it is keen to herald its longstanding bike manufacturing and industry heritage, its master craftmanship and artisan legacy whilst spotlighting its dynamic evolutionary design and exciting future. Attention to detail is exemplary. Design details include a new Pashley signature frame signifier which honours frame makers traditions from the past where their unique identifiers with bespoke profiling instantly identified the maker. Pashley’s new 3D printed seat tube and top tube junction pays homage to this tradition. Other refined details include the proud Pashley ‘P’ on the rear dropout, wrap around metallic graphics and exquisite aluminium head badge. The result is stunning. A fully integrated lightweight frame platform with internal cable routing, sleek profiling, seamless welds and striking sophisticated design.
Versatility is also key. The new Roadfinder Collection boasts clearance for multiple tyre options up to 45c alongside mudguard fixing points, front, rear & frame luggage capacity, and multiple bottle mounts that allows the rider flexibility to create their ideal bicycle. Pashley offers 3 standard spec variations and 3 resplendent colourways per model – in Azure Blue, Rich Burgundy, Oak Green. With further options available for a classic finishing kit and colour matched mudguards.
