2017 Weekender Archer x Biltwell

2017 Weekender Archer x Biltwell

We let our friends at Biltwell have their way with the new 2017 Weekender Archer and they came up with something truly special. The Biltwell graphics, Vintage White paint, a custom seat, and their famous Torker Grips, really make this version of the Archer stand out in a crowd.

Only 100 of these bikes were produced.
Each is individually numbered.

A lot of bikes get bogged down with things you don’t need or technologies that are focused on racing. Fairdale’s ever popular Weekender Archer model is designed differently. The Weekender Archer is an adaptable commuter/ light-tourer.

Building the bike with Archer handlebars allows for a riding position that is both comfortable for easy rides and stable for fast ones. The high-quality, butted, chromoly frame is paired with practical and durable components. SRAM provides the 1×9 drive-train. Simple up-or-down shifting from one lever provides an enormous range of gears. The Avid disc brakes are mated to our own Fairdale Linear cables (by Odyssey BMX) for powerful all-weather braking. Continental tires are wide enough to soak up bumps but don’t feel slow (Maxxis 650b tires on XS & S sizes). Front and rear fender rack mounts allow you to customize the bike for many different uses.

Only available in Biltwell’s signature Vintage White.

Please Note: Bicycles purchased online are shipped partially assembled. Fairdale complete bikes require a professional assembly from a qualified bicycle retailer. A proof of assembly receipt from the bicycle retailer must be submitted with all warranty claims. Any claims submitted without a proof of assembly receipt will be rejected.
