Czech Yourself: Handmade in Czechia

Czech Yourself: Handmade in Czechia

Crafted in Czechia using Italian Columbus tubing and finished in Berlin, the Pfadfinder is a truly European affair. Engineered for performance with comfort for the long haul, we’ve chosen Columbus’ most advanced Spirit steel tubing throughout, which offers unbeatable stiffness to weight as well as incredible durability. Your dream bike is built to last.
Clearance for 38mm tyres

Clearance for 38mm tyres

30s are the new 25s, but why stop there? The Pfadfinder is made to keep you going, even when the road surface might be suggesting not to, so we’ve developed clearance for up to 38mm tyres. Tackle the roads you didn’t think possible on a ‘road bike’ and enjoy comfort like you’ve never felt on the ones you did. Sometimes bigger is better.
3D-printed Stainless Steel Dropouts with UDH

3D-printed Stainless Steel Dropouts with UDH

Our bespoke 3D-printed dropouts have been developed to be as beautiful as they are functional. Employing details not usually possible with stainless steel, allowing integrated Di2 routing, and with greater strength than traditional cast dropouts, the Pfadfinder’s dropouts are also UDH equipped. In addition to maximum chain security, the Universal Derailleur Hanger ensures enhanced durability, compatibility and ease of maintenance so you can take your Pfadfinder further in total confidence.

Product FAQ

Standert Pfadfinder Steel Road Bike LTD White endurance all road
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.
