There's a magical ride quality you just can't get anywhere but on a steel frame. Stiff enough for genuine performance, hell it worked pretty well for Merckx, and compliant enough to sing across the less-than-ideal tarmac most of us face in the real world.

Reach for the PFADFINDER if you're after a truly versatile bike with balanced geometry, clearance for 38mm tyres and even mounts for mudguards. Or for a racier geometry and classic profile, opt for the perennial TRIEBWERK. And for the rim-brake purists, never fear, there's the TRIEBWERK CR to answer your call.
