Pashley Cycles, Britains longest-established bicycle manufacturer, has unveiled their all-new Roadfinder Collection.
A high-quality, performance focussed, exquisitely hand-crafted, versatile drop-bar 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 and Roadfinder E models, built and spec’d for road riding, and the Roadfinder X and Roadfinder X E models which have an off-road focus.
The two non-E models share the same frameset, whilst the rear hub-powered E-bikes use a slightly upgraded version which has a larger downtube to facilitate the battery. All the models are available in a range of specifications and builds to suit taste, usage and budget.
Designed, developed, tested and handmade in their UK-based factory in Stratford-upon-Avon the brand seamlessly blends modern technologies, innovation and great British craftsmanship 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 offers.
Andy Smallwood, who has been in the post of CEO at Pashley for the last seven months having previously led Boardman Bikes and steered Ribbles Cycles’ transformation is behind the initiative, together with lead designer Jon Cumberbatch. Andy said;
“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.”
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.
The 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 to the Roadfinder Collection; it boasts clearance for multiple tyre options up to 45c alongside mudguard fixing points, front, rear and frame luggage capacity, and multiple bottle mounts that allows the rider the flexibility to create their ideal bicycle.
Pashley offers three standard spec variations and three resplendent colourways per model, in Azure Blue, Rich Burgundy, Oak Green. There are further options available for a classic finishing kit and colour matched mudguards.
