Our Lightweight Road Explorer
The Roadfinder SL is our most agile and road-focused steel frameset to date—built by hand in Stratford-upon-Avon using a refined blend of Reynolds 853 and 725CS custom-drawn tubing. Lighter, sharper, and more responsive than its sibling, the original Roadfinder, it’s designed to deliver the unmistakable ride quality of steel in a package engineered for modern road cycling.
With a Grand Tour-inspired geometry (73–73.5° angles), the Roadfinder SL offers a dynamic and confident ride for climbing, cornering, or cruising on long days in the saddle. The Columbus Futura SLX carbon fork with a tapered steerer adds sharpness to the handling while soaking up vibration for smooth road compliance.
To reduce weight without compromising performance, the SL features a circular-to-ovalised down tube for bottom bracket stiffness and efficient power transfer, a 27.2mm seatpost diameter for improved comfort, and a stripped-down clearance for up to 32c tyres (or 28c with full mudguards). The result: a frame weight of just 1698g—400 grams lighter than the original Roadfinder.
Designed for modern drivetrains and contemporary performance standards, the Roadfinder SL incorporates:
T47 bottom bracket shell for robust fit and reliable performance
Flat mount disc brake standard for clean aesthetics and stopping power
Di2 specific Internal cable routing - (mechanical routing available on request)
UDH-compatible rear dropout with integrated cable ports for tidy routing
Each Roadfinder SL is finished with E-coat corrosion protection, followed by a rich, high-gloss wet paint finish and hand-stencilled graphics for a long-lasting and premium appearance.
