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, 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.
The Pathfinder is available in the three frame sizes shown below, followed by their corresponding inside leg length range.
For full geometry measurements please Click Here
Frame Size | Inside Leg Length |
Small | 27.5-31.5" |
Medium | 30-34" |
Large | 32-36" |
The frame size is the distance between the centrepoint of the cycle's bottom bracket (where the pedal arms extend from) and the top of the frame's seat tube (where the seatpost enters the frame).
Leg length should be measured from the sole of your foot to the inner top of your thigh (in inches) - please note that this is a different measurement to your trouser inside leg length. If your inside leg length falls in between two frame sizes and you are unsure which size is best for you, please visit our Sizing Page for further guidance.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
My inside leg length falls between two frame sizes - which should I choose?
Choose the smaller size frame if you prefer to put your feet flat on the ground when stopping. If you prefer to have your handlebars much higher than your saddle, so you are seated in a very upright position, choose the larger frame size; you’ll still be able to put your tip-toes down when stopping. If you are still unsure which size is best for you, please feel free to call us on 01789 292 263 (Mon-Fri, 9-5pm) and we would be happy to advise you.
Can I fit lights?
Yes, whilst lights are not fitted as standard. Our classic LED headlamp and rear mudguard lamp can be installed.
Are the tyres tubeless ready?
Yes, alhough we do install innertubes at the factory. The rims and tyres are ready to be converted to a tubeless system.
What does the Pathfinder weigh?
The Pathfinder weighs 13kg on average (based upon a medium frame, fully built including pedals)
Can I test ride a Pathfinder somewhere?
