As much as we here at Curbside love collecting bikes (like a dragon hoarding gold) sometimes you don’t need a different bike for every activity. In some beautiful & rare instances, there comes a bike that can be everything for you. The Pelago Stavanger is undeniably one of those bikes. Fast! Responsive! Reliable! This bike is sturdy: both in its construction and in the quality of the ride.
The Stavanger is an epic edition to Pelago’s line-up. Ideal for gravel riding, bikepacking, and long distance adventures but with clever additions that make it a top of the line commuter too – this is Pelago’s self described ‘all-road bike’. So what the heck makes this bike so versatile? Glad you asked…
Using it for bikepacking? The Stavanger has plenty of space for frame bags, tons of mounting points for water bottle cages, and front and rear racks. Want an adventure bike? The frame has plenty of clearance for wider – or slimmer – tires, internal routing for a dropper post, and is tubeless compatible. Looking for a sporty commuter? The bike has clearance and mounting points for fenders, comes with through axle wheels to keep away pesky thieves and a powder coated frame that will hold up no matter the weather. Round out all these cool features with uber powerful hydraulic disc brakes and robust double butted steel tubing, the Stavanger can handle all sorts of adventures on all sorts of terrains (gravel paths, paved roads, city streets, to name a few). The Shimano 1×11 gearing gives you the range necessary to tackle long distances and brutal hills alike. The bike is even Di2 ready, meaning you can upgrade to electronic shifting.
Don’t want to be limited by your bike? Well don’t be – with the Pelago Stavanger you can do just about anything!

What’s the difference between a brand like Pelago and others you carry?
Here in Canada, winters can suck. But Finland is reported as being the happiest country worldwide – and their winters are much colder, darker, and longer than ours! Part of this can be attributed to the fact that they cycle year-round, with the city of Oulu being the informal winter cycling capital of the world. You can ride in all seasons with any bike (and many Canadian cyclists do) but the Fins are dedicated to riding good bikes that are made to handle winter weather – with powder-coated steel frames, internal gear hubs, upright riding positions and puncture-proof tires.
When comparing a Pelago to a Linus, the Pelago will be a lot longer-wearing – the paint won’t “pock” over time and the frame is stronger. A fair comparison would be a Pelago against an Achielle, but the latter is much heavier and designed for slower rides than the more moderately-positioned Pelago. A Fahrradmanufaktur cuts its teeth on being an excellent trekking bike as well as a city bike, whereas the Pelago shines in urban environments with some longer rail-path rides thrown in.
How do I ensure my new bike won’t get stolen?
Research shows that very few bicycle thefts are related to a bicycles value and are best defined as low-risk/low-return. A good bicycle lock is expensive to break through and takes time, thus increasing the risk and lowering the return. Estimates are that over 90% of bicycle theft is tied to cash-for-drugs and that makes every bike a target. Make sure you buy a good Abus U-lock or a chain and you’ll be fine.

What’s the warranty?
Five year warranty for manufacturer’s defects on frame and fork, one year on parts. Does not include wear and tear.
