Built for Every Road - Every Day
The Roadfinder is built to excel on any terrain. Its lightweight frame is constructed with Reynolds 853 double-butted steel tubes and our signature 3D-printed stainless steel lugs all carefully brazed by hand. Paired with a Columbus Futura carbon fibre fork featuring adjustable trail settings, it delivers an exceptional platform for speed, comfort, and long-distance riding ease.
With geometry tailored for versatility, the Roadfinder is ready to conquer everything from endurance road rides and group spins to bikepacking and touring.
Behind the iconic Pashley head badge, the oversized 44mm head tube enhances stiffness for out-of-saddle climbing while integrating 3D-printed stainless steel cable ports that ensure clean lines and prevent cable rub.
At the heart of the frame, a T47 bottom bracket provides robust support and space for gear cables, seamlessly connecting to 3D-printed UDH-compatible rear dropouts. Slim and subtly tapering, straight seatstays effectively dissipate vibrations from rough surfaces, enhancing ride comfort, while contoured chainstays provide excellent power transfer whilst creating ample clearance for tyres up to 45c, even with a double chainset.
For added stability at speed, the Roadfinder is designed around an extended top tube and shorter stem, reducing toe overlap when using mudguards, improving stability and off-road handling. Its geometry can be fine-tuned using the flip-chip dropout in the front fork, allowing adjustments to trail for either agile handling or enhanced off-road predictability. Multiple luggage mounts and bottle cage locations make it well-equipped for long rides or multi-day adventures.
The Roadfinder offers a choice of drivetrains to match your riding style. Options range from the dependable Shimano 105 mechanical groupset with lightweight alloy wheels to the sleek, wireless Shimano 105 Di2 or Ultegra Di2 systems, paired with aerodynamic 36mm hand-laced in the UK Parcours Alta carbon fibre wheels. All configurations include confidence-inspiring hydraulic disc brakes.
To achieve the perfect balance of performance and comfort, the Roadfinder is outfitted with Zipp 80 Ergo handlebars, a Service Course stem, and a 27.2mm Zipp Service Course seatpost (shimmed down from 31.6mm for added compliance and dropper post compatibility when off-road), crowned with the all-weather Brooks C15 Cambium saddle.
Whether you're scaling hills or cruising miles of open road, the Roadfinder is designed to deliver exhilarating performance and unmatched comfort on every ride.
