The Weekender Archer is Fairdale's longest-running model, remaining true to its original intent: an easy-going bike that's perfect for a casual ride but capable of so much more.
Over the years, Fairdale has refined the Weekender, but its focus has remained consistent. The riding position is comfortable for long hauls or evening rides, and the shifting system is wonderfully simple to use. The disc brakes receive a power boost from our Linear Slic Kables, made for us by Odyssey®.
Built around the comfortable, tour-tested, and durable chromoly steel Weekender frame, the Archer has the potential to open up the world of cycling to you. It features an easy-to-use gear system, road-smoothing high-volume tyres, the all-weather stopping power of disc brakes, and a commanding riding position thanks to the Archer handlebars.
The Archer also includes the Weekender's geometry, designed for 27.5 x 2.0" Continental tyres, with plenty of space for 700c wheels if you decide to switch it up.
*Please note that the X-Small and Small Weekenders use 27.5 x 1.65" Maxxis tires and these frame sizes are not compatible with 700c wheels.
