I really want one a pink Pashley. Something I can just jump on in my jeans.

You can jump on any bike in your jeans.
Well, maybe not a TT bike

I went into Halfords today just for a look round. I had a feel at some of those old style bikes. They look very nice, Maybe i'm just jealous because i don't live in an area flat enough to justify buying one?

i have a secret crush on Pashley Princesses. I've always fancied one, they seem perfect for popping to the shops with a built in lock, armchar seat and basket.

Who knows I may treat myself one day.

My 21kg single speed Paper Bike (RIP, 3 Scottish winters made her into a rust bucket) was heavier!
As said above, once they start rolling they are unstoppable.

How was it 21kg if single speed and made of paper?

Looking at the specs
Number of Gears: 3
Rear Mech: 5 Speed Sturney Archer

so what does that mean ?[/QUOTE]

It should be:
Number of Gears: 4
Rear Mech: 5 Speed Sturmey Archer

You can never get bottom gear with the Sturmey Archer 5 speed hub

Is this one of the heaviest bikes out there? http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bik...lassic-bikes/pashley-princess-classic-bike-20 I was flicking through the pages when i saw this heavyweight machine. Maybe they weighed it with its shopping basket full of bricks?

It was a lightweight compared to my Batavus - it weighed 18kg. Apparently that's not too bad for a traditional Dutch bike.

That works out at about £300 a year - you might as well have bought an Asda bike every 3 months.

That works out at about £300 a year. You could have bought an Asda bike every 3 months - they'd have lasted just as long

I did not get it from the linked site - it worked out at about 125 a year.
That bike was always the centre of attention - got another one just as pretty and a third of the weight awaiting some tlc
