Going-Downhill Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi all, I cant believe i've never posted on this forum after all these years but better late than never. Back in the day i finally got a bike i was 100% happy with and then stupidly decided to jack trials in and flog the bike.... Just the other day after thinking i need to get some skills back i had a look for a nice trials bike and to my amazement one of the first one's i spotted just so happened to be my old bike with every last component exactly the same as i left it! I couldn't let the opportunity slide and went and picked it up. Here she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Looks like an old Pashley steed you've got there. How long ago did you quit riding before being reunited with your beloved steed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going-Downhill Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Looks like an old Pashley steed you've got there. How long ago did you quit riding before being reunited with your beloved steed? It sure is. I purchased this thing new when they were first released, preordered it after hanging around the Pashley stand all day drooling at the Bikeshow. Maybe 2004? Sold up around 3 years ago but now everyone's buying new bikes again and i'm over the moon this thing came about, couldnt have worked out better!

mike425 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Makes a good change to see a a nice steel frame on here for once. I used to love those Pashleys, imo miles better looking than any of the current frames out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 +1 on the loving your bike. So unlikely to find it, as well as in the exact same spec you sold it in! I'm actually coming up to Eastwood for a day at the end of April to meet with some guys from Raleigh - could possibly bring the bike up too and have a hop about for a couple of hours.

Lawnmowerman Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Nice bike! I used to have one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going-Downhill Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Nice bike! I used to have one too. Nice to see another one! Can i ask how it's life came to an end? Any weak points? I see they treated you to the reynolds decals on the seat stays. Some Forgetful fellow must have stickered mine up. I wonder how many were made... I can just about make out the number 009 underneath my bb. Makes a good change to see a a nice steel frame on here for once. I used to love those Pashleys, imo miles better looking than any of the current frames out there! Yep, I officially love steel weather it be my trials frame, DJ frame or xc bike. Keep it real. +1 on the loving your bike. So unlikely to find it, as well as in the exact same spec you sold it in! I'm actually coming up to Eastwood for a day at the end of April to meet with some guys from Raleigh - could possibly bring the bike up too and have a hop about for a couple of hours. My jaw dropped when i saw each and every last component exactly the same as i left it and not even one extra battle scar. A ride at the end of april sounds good.

Lawnmowerman Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I sold it because I was skint Found the frame to be too stiff for me anyway and ended up going back to a mod bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
