Pashley Pathfinder (Diamond Frame)
Pashley Pathfinder (Diamond Frame)
Introducing the Pashley Pathfinder, a contemporary bicycle beautifully hand-crafted in Britain and built for everyday adventure. Equally suited to city commutes or country escapes, the Pathfinder is crafted from the highest quality Reynolds steel, giving you a lightweight yet durable bicycle which marries modern engineering with a touch of retro elegance to embody the perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
Reflecting the spirit of the open road, the Pathfinder is crafted for the rider who appreciates the finer details of a dependable and versatile machine, which is as comfortable conquering the urban commute as it is on the weekend spin to the coffee shop.
Hand-brazed with a considered blend of Reynolds 725, 631 and 525 butted steel tubes and 3D printed stainless steel lugs, the Pathfinder frame is lightweight, durable and comfortable.
Available in a diamond or low step frame (view HERE), the Pathfinder is outfitted with high-volume semi-slick tyres, offering an exceptional balance of speed and grip on varied surfaces, making it equally at home on smooth surfaces or gravel paths.
The full-length, colour-matched double-walled alloy mudguards not only enhance its classic aesthetic, but also provide superior protection against the elements, ensuring a clean and comfortable ride in any weather.
With a wide-range Shimano 1 x 11 gearset, the Pathfinder effortlessly adapts to any terrain, whether it’s a steep city climb or a gentle country lane. The addition of hydraulic brakes provides reliable, responsive stopping power, giving you the confidence to ride anywhere with precision and control.
Fully equipped, refined and stylish, the Pathfinder is an exceptional bicycle for the everyday.

Offering great modulation and control, hydraulic disc brakes give excellent braking confidence on long descents.
Gears
Allowing you to tackle a wide range of gradients, the front 39t Alfine chainset is combined with an 11-43t cassette to give a simple to use and broad spread of gears.

The B17 has been an iconic part of the Brooks saddle range for over 100 years. Renowned for its performance for all disciplines of cycling. The leather allows the saddle to breathe and form to your shape over time becoming uniquely comfortable. With handy rear luggage loops.

Hand-stitched by English craftsmen, these grips are made from fine aniline bridle leather that is durable yet supple, and finished with highly-polished stainless steel end caps.
