PASTEL

The multitalent.
The freedom machine.
The what if tool. 


What if you turn right this time? A road ends there but maybe there is something else. A path, a view, an adventure? Let your brain re-wire with a bike that never says never.


Our WHTIF was developed as your partner in crime. With MTB-like tire clearance, you don't have to worry about what the next corner will bring, while the light and reliable PHASE carbon wheels guarantee speed. The handling is tuned to be stable enough for rough descents while still having fun on the road sections. You can ride it unloaded for that quick sunset ride after work - or pack it up and take it on multi-day adventures thanks to the multiple attachment points.

In order to create a gravel bike that is versatile, reliable, easy to maintain and fast on all surfaces, we had the following design requirements:

  • Lightweight and reliable components

  • Hassle-free maintenance

  • Threaded bottom bracket, standard handlebar and seat post

  • Classic shape that will still be modern next year

Highlights

Tire Clearance

What makes our bikes really versatile is the ability to mount wide tires. The clearance for the tires is 700*50 or 650*2.1". This means that in the gravel standard wheel size of 700cc, a tire of up to 50mm can be used (depending on the manufacturer, sometimes more). This is MTB territory If, on the other hand, slicks or thinner tires are fitted, the Pastel Gravel transforms into an all-road machine thanks to the carbon wheels, low weight and clever geometry.

  


Mounting Points

24 mounting bolts offer many possibilities, including the assembly of:

  • Bottle Holder
  • Fork bags
  • Toptube bags
  • Front- and back luggage racks
  • Fenders and lights

Of course you don't have to attach everything - but isn't it good to know that your gravel bike will be a loyal partner on all future adventures?

 

Custom color

We are very pleased to be able to offer an individual choice of color for your Pastel Gravel Bike. We currently offer a single-color finish. Choosing via RAL color codes is a good option (you can easily find color codes online). We can paint these glossy and matt. If you have discovered a great paint finish on a car, you are welcome to send it to us for implementation.
If you would like to accept this option, please send your color request to the following email address: info@pastelcycles.com

Light and agile gravel bike

I've had my new Gravel from Pastel for 6 weeks and I'm thrilled. It's fast and agile, with high quality components, and handles almost like a road bike - a huge difference from my previous Gravel. The custom paintwork is a real eye-catcher! Customer contact is friendly and yet professional. I wish the Pastel team a successful future!

Pastel WHTIF

The bike in Pistachio Gelato Color is visually very successful. But what is even more important is that the bike rides very well. (I had many gravel bikes before). The components were very well selected and the wheels make the bike very agile. The delivery time was just as indicated and the personal contact even after the purchase (I got directly from Martin an answer to questions) makes the company very symphatic. For me a clear recommendation.

Great bike and amazing service

I came across Pastel and was a bit comprehensive because it wasn't one of the big brands. However, I loved the idea of ​​having a custom painted bike, saw that they were competitive on components and weight with the big brands, plus they have product in stock (my guess is they are a new brand so haven't been hit with the same supply issues as the rest of the industry). So I went for it, bought my bike and couldn't be happier with the results. It rides amazing, looks awesome and the whole buying experience was super smooth.

I'd highly recommend Pastel Cycles.
