Vintage Raleigh Pathfinder Folding City Bike - Folding Bikes 4U
£75.00 GBP
The Vintage Raleigh Pathfinder represents a classic folding bicycle design, offering a compact solution for urban cyclists seeking a versatile folding bike with heritage styling. Manufactured by Folding Bikes 4U, this model embodies the traditional British approach to small-wheel urban transportation.
Design and Construction
Constructed with a traditional steel frame geometry, the Pathfinder utilises a mid-frame hinge mechanism that enables rapid and straightforward folding. The frame design prioritises an upright riding position, supporting rider comfort and urban visibility. The compact fold allows seamless integration with multi-modal transportation strategies.
Components and Specification
While specific component details are limited, the Pathfinder follows the typical folding bicycle configuration with smaller 20-inch wheels. The hinge mechanism enables the bicycle to reduce to a compact form without requiring specialised tools. The small wheel geometry supports responsive handling in congested urban environments.
Ride Characteristics
The shorter wheelbase contributes to nimble handling, particularly useful in tight urban spaces. Smaller wheels provide quick acceleration from stationary positions, though riders should anticipate increased pedalling effort on longer flat sections. The steel frame offers inherent vibration damping across varied metropolitan surfaces.
Intended Use
This folding bicycle suits riders requiring a compact bicycle solution for mixed-terrain urban commuting. The specification supports regular short to medium-distance journeys, with particular utility for cyclists integrating cycling with public transport or managing limited storage constraints.
