Dutch Bike

Pashleys are shit.

Their bikes are stupendously annoying, the brakes are shockingly poor, the gears are crap. An unwelcome flashback to an era of poor quality cheap bicycles sold for stupidly unreasonable prices.

Having read your thought on Pashleys, I went back to check their website on what the spec of their cheapest Roadster is, and at nearly £500, it's shockingly poor, the only way I can get a Pashleys with similar or identical specification to the Dutchie I've just brought, is the Roadster Sovereign costing a sheer £575, the only thing that seperate the Pashley from the Dutchie is the Brooks saddle.

It's a lots of money for an old bike, despite how comfortable it is to ride on.
