New Pashley

[ianrauk]

My partner just bought a lovely second hand Pashley. It's in lovely condition with only 20 odd miles on the clock from new and then hidden away in a garage for the past 5 or 6 years.
Comes with a five speed twist shift hub gears. Front hub brake and a lovely Brooks saddle.
Its a lively, smooth ride and surprisingly nimble.
Front basket is on order

Thats nice.

Very nice! Almost puts me in mind of a Mailstar, but even better.

What a find! 👍

Bottom gear was difficult to select on these, it might have been sorted by the time yours was made.

Lovely bike, is that the "Ladies" version of the Parabike?

(Ladies in quotes as obviously bikes do not care about gender)

That looks much nicer than the 'standard' Pashley.

Doesn't seem to have any problems with it.

First ride out for coffee this morning. She loves it.

A tweak of the handle bar height and saddle level and its even better.
She never rides in wet weather so mudguards will be coming off.

That’s lovely!

Given that no landspeed records will be broken on a Pashley, why not just leave them on? Is the weight really going to make a difference?

They're poorly fitted and rattle

I think it will look better with the mudguards left on. Just my humble opinion.
Could you find a way to de-rattle them?

Nope. Whoever put them on originally cut the stays to short. so they haven't any room to adjust.
she also want's them off so off they will be.
