Oh yeah, it wasn't a Pashley, just a typical dutch bike that cost £285 brand new.
Also the Retrovelo survived an assault (hit by car, bike thrown at me, no bent part at all).

That look more 80's, you got an excellent buy as the older components can be a nightmare, the newer brakes are so much more powerful, is the wheels the old 26"?

I can’t think of anyone more suited to riding this bicycle.
I hope it gives you many smiles for much years.

Unless I UTFSBed badly, it looks like we don't have a Pashley thread.
After wanting one for a long time I just found a cheap one on eBay, almost immediately rideable after a quick fix of the rear hub. Not sure what year it is. Seller said 1960s (with some more modern bits) but the (presumably original) paintwork makes me think it could be a little younger than that. Rear rack is brazed as part of the frame, which I love, and it doesn't have the cylindrical fork crown of current Pashleys.
I love the bike and wondered if that love was shared on here.
@edscoble didn't you have one a very long time ago, that got rear ended, with more damage to the car than the bike?
