Pashley gets in on the act

meet the guv'nor ... OK, it's not quite fixed but it is singlespeed

I think I saw one of those in the Spitalfields/Bishopsgate Cycle Surgery window.

They have one up here (kentish town) in Chamberlains, I was gawping at it yesterday.

I quite like that... Very cute...

that's very cool, white tyres too! pashley are great.

I had a quick go on the one at Spiltalfieds Cycle Surgery. Really really odd handlebar postion, couldnt live with it.

they have them in london fields cycles too. a bit too velorution for my tastes.

lol

They look like proper old tour d' france bikes when they where racing on old goat tracks. When l'tour really was a challenge, when men really where men, when many roads where unsurfaced and some stages where upto 400 km. We need a new race like this.

A bit like the Giro then?

But really, is £800 a reasonable price for it? Thats almost BLB levels of extortion.

get some arrospokes on it

From a style point of view I can see them selling like hot cakes. I like it - if I was 20 years older I'd consider it.

I don't like it.
The crankset is just ugly, brake levers look out of place, as do the hub brakes and the grips.
The frame and wheels are nice though.
Overpriced definately.

£200 more and I'd have the Phantom. Badass.

Caption reads 'Spring in Norwich'

Pisstake surely? Where's the ice white action socks with chevron flash?

I like it. It looks like you should be pounding along some salt flats doing big speeds on it !

I had a look and even a touch of the one in Spitalfields cycle surgery, it's nice; but for a fraction of the price you could jump on the train to somewhere like Cambridge and get a truly vintage ride not so disimilar in looks.

Ive always been hugeley dissapointed at pashleys lack of attention to detail on their bikes.

They sell themselves on being traditonal britsh classc handcrafted and all that shizzle,

but look at the brake levers on that ! uggghh! £800 quids worth? Appollo bikes come better equipped.

In my opinion, chinese or indian traditional town bikes which cost around £35 oversease, £100ish imported, totally piss on pashleys.

it looks great but probably handles like a pig in a snowstorm..

I fucking love this bike!

I've seen a few people riding these round my end.

Horrible.

what's with the ti brooks as well? a bit pointless on a really heavy bike. The nicest bike pashley make is the tube rider (really nice to ride) or the roadster they made for harrods for a while - that was lovely.

I've seen a few people riding these round my end.

Horrible.

Sounds painful.

I like it. It looks like you should be pounding along some salt flats doing big speeds on it !

what like when you're rollin, in you're five point oh with your rag top down so you're hair can blow? 2 the extreme... ha ha.
