Hi everyone,
I am restoring what looks like a 83 Pashley PO cycle. I got it from a friend. I live in France and it looks like the mailman got lost during his round ^^
If anyone knows where I can find this part, please let me know!!
THX !!

Which part are you trying to find?

Looking at it, that step through frame will likely have the same front rack as this: https://tradesmansbike.wordpress.com/1983-pashley-post-office-bicycle/

Further shown here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Collecto...164845?hash=item21611c4aad:g:b4sAAOSwo51dYDXe

I think you're going to struggle to find that. But never say never...

Something which may expand your horizons on your search could be a slightly later rack like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pashley-...520815?hash=item1ce970142f:g:0rMAAOSwDRNer-rt Which looks to share the same rack mounting but i can't verify that.

Good luck.

I'd say from the style of the PO badge, it's older than you think it is. The current Royal Mail livery has been around for more years than I like to admit....

1977 the earliest, assuming it is a Pashley. The same bracket mounting was used across the Post Office bicycle fleet. Regardless of supplier, at the time.

They Pashley started supplying bicycles, becoming the sole cycle supplier in that year. Before then, they'd been supplying trikes to the Post Office.

Edited due to reply not posting first time.

Well thank you all for your messages.
Dave, thx for your research, that is my bike indeed and that could have been a good rack for it. It looks like Ebay will be my only chance but I reckon I am not good enough at seeking ^^
I am starting to contact every single bike shop in UK (and this take some time!!).
Please find attached the rack and the specific measure.
Cycling regards to all
