  • Bought a Roadster Sovereign today but it's too small.

    Was being sold as a 22.5"but I'm pretty sure it's actually the 20.5. Hard to be certain though as Pashley aren't exactly forthcoming with geometry charts.

    The seat was slammed when I went to see it and I didn't bother test riding it as it was pissing with rain.

    I'm going to give it a tidy up, make it a bit sort of Guv'nor-ish and try and punt it on.

    Bars flipped over, rack and skirt guards removed.

    Rear hub needs adjusted/serviced, the dynamo wire had been pulled out the fork and zip tied to the leg so I’ve rectified that. Needs a bulb in the lamp and the cables shortening.

    Shame it’s too small, would have been a nice wee project.

  • Yes that’s a 20.5 = small. There’s a worldwide conspiracy to always misrepresent the size of pashley bikes. It’s amazing how powerfully confusing it is to have a slightly higher bottom bracket. If it’s a 5 speed be careful of adjustments, don’t touch it if it’s not broken!

  • It is indeed a 5 speed.

    I’m not convinced I was getting 5 different gears at first though, send a bit better after having the cable disconnected and put back together with a bit of adjustment.
