Fairdale 27.5 Weekender Archer 2023 Bike
One of the first Fairdales ever made was the Weekender. Fairdale envisioned a “light-tourer” that would work as a weekday commuter and a weekend getaway machine.
Over the years Fairdale has refined the Weekender, but its focus has stayed the same. The riding position is comfortable for the long haul or an evening ride. The shifting is wonderfully simple to use, and the disc brakes get a nice power-boost from Linear Slic Kables, made for Fairdale by Odyssey®.
The Weekender has a redesigned geometry to work with 27.5 x 2.1" tyres, and also leaves plenty of space for compatibility with 700c wheels if you ever feel like changing it up.*
