The Roadfinder SL Rim Brake Edition - For the cycling connoisseur, this frameset provides the perfect platform to build a seriously lightweight and high-performance steel road bike.
Our lightest ever bike frame
The Roadfinder SL is our most performance focussed road bike, and the Rim Brake Edition is specifically designed for the discerning road rider. Blending lightweight performance with the classic aesthetic and ease of maintenance that rim brakes provide, the Roadfinder SL Rim Brake Edition frameset brings all-day epic ride capability, exquisite handling and the unmistakable ride quality of high-end, hand-crafted steel.
Joining the Roadfinder collection, the Rim Brake Edition Frameset uses the same Reynolds 853 SL tubeset, exclusive to Pashley, as our disc-braked Roadfinder SL, and features a circular-to-ovalised down tube for bottom bracket stiffness and efficient power transfer. Across the whole frame wall thicknesses and internal structures are refined, with fine-tuned geometry, custom 3D printed stainless steel dropouts, seatstay bridge and internal cable routing for your choice of mechanical or electronic rim brake groupset. The Roadfinder SL Rim Brake Edition is our lightest road bike frame ever weighing just 1624g*.
With this frameset we challenge the cycling connoisseur to delve deep and build something truly special, a lightweight steel race bike with the perfect balance of artisan frame building, cutting edge manufacturing techniques and modern component technology.
*for 54cm raw frame
Designed for rim braked groupsets to the most up-to-date standards, the Roadfinder SL Rim Brake Edition incorporates:
T47 bottom bracket shell for robust fit and reliable performance
Rim brake mounts on the seatstay bridge and carbon fork
Di2 or mechanical internal cable routing
Quick release dropouts to suit rim-braked wheelsets
Each Roadfinder SL Rim Brake Edition frameset is finished with E-coat corrosion protection inside and out, followed by a rich, high-gloss wet paint finish and hand-stencilled graphics for a long-lasting and premium appearance.
