Modern steel made to go the distance. The Pfadfinder boasts Standert’s versatile endurance geometry, seamless integration, bespoke 3D-printed stainless steel dropouts and Columbus’ most advanced steel tubing all lovingly made and painted in Europe. Add that to clearance for 38mm tyres and you get guaranteed agility, comfort and durability for every ride, no matter how long or rough the road gets.

Three bottle cage mounts and eyelets for fenders mean you can extend your ride even further and the frame internals are totally anti-corrosion treated and powder coated so you can extend your season. The Pfadfinder is made for the long run in every sense.

FAQ

What is the Pfadfinder made of?

It's built with premium, Italian Columbus Steel tubing, completely welded and painted in Europe and assembled at our home in Berlin. It has Stainless Steel dropouts, which are custom 3D-printed just for the Pfadfinder.

What is the maximum tyre clearance on the Pfadfinder?

38mm actual width (as measured, noting labelled tyre width can change with rim width).

What kind of riding is the Pfadfinder made for?

At heart it's a road bike, built to maximise comfort for rides of every length. Thanks to a less aggressive geometry than the Kreissäge and very generous tyre clearance, the Pfadfinder can happily tackle a huge variety of road surfaces. It's easily the most versatile road bike we've ever made.

What is included in the Frameset option?

In the box you will get the frame, fork, headset, headset expander, bottom bracket (of your choice), inlay set for all groupset options, thru-axles and a seat clamp.

Is the Pfadfinder compatible with 650b wheels?

Yes, but please take into account the lower BB drop and the effects on handling.

Can I fit mudguards to my Pfadfinder?

Yes, easily! There are built-in mounts for fixed mudguards.

Can I fit a pannier rack on the Pfadfinder?

No, although there are top tube mounts for an additional small bag. You can mount a pannier rack on our Erdgeschoss model.

Why should I choose a steel bike?

Steel offers a magical ride quality that you can't find on bikes made with any other material. It is comfortable, with an amazing spring in its step and still plenty stiff enough for almost anyone (it was certainly good enough for Merckx). Plus, when maintained properly, steel lasts a very, very long time, is very repairable and doesn't have to end up in landfill like carbon when the time finally comes.

Does the Pfadfinder have any anti-corrosion treatment?

Absolutely, it is built to last a lifetime. The Pfadfinder has been phosphate dipped and the frame internals powder coated to help prevent rust and corrosion. We still recommend proper maintenance to guarantee getting the most out of your beautiful steel frame. Find everything you need to know in our Steel Care Guide.
