Ross McArthur Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Change your rear "sidehop?" maggi mounts round so your pads can reach the rim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robq7653 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 i have no idea how thos frame rides but i think they are the best looking/coolest/hardcore frame ever and to be honest i don't either its the bike i always wanted when i was like 14 now im 24 and can afford it easily thought i would for fill that dream similar geometry to the bike i used to ride but is feeling light, and snap i still love the look, timeless i think. maybe its just me lol Change your rear "sidehop?" maggi mounts round so your pads can reach the rim! its not set up yet the wheel i bought the spindle is too big so have to swap the hub maybe, i know though used to be and still am really fussy with my brakes. have to be spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve sturt Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That is a beaut. In pretty good nick too. Ive had two of those. I had white one origianlly. Frame number was 276 I think. That got replaced by a silver one. I have the silver MHz frame and two pairs of pashley forks in my shed, but cant bring myself to build it up for fear of trashing it. I got an old Echo ES3 of a similar vintage which rides almost the same. A little better on the back wheel than the Pashley. All the riding I do now, invloves falling off at comps and scraping around rocks, I dont mind wrecking the Echo doing this but the Pashleys always felt special. Id snap a GHz up though if one came up when I could afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robq7653 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeh they are lovely looking bikes I absolutely loved them in my teens and chuffed I have one now to ride. The last owner said the same didnt want to trash it, and fair enough but it's a bike and should be ridden. It's in good nick a few minor scuffs nothing major but will be polished up and waxed before riding. Tonight I found the back wheel does fit it just a bloody tight fit, so fitted the high rollers and tweaked the mags to perfection then fitted the fork extender as I couldn't run the stem I wanted or spacers but that's all done now polished one v12 then replaced the mashed pins on one pedal ( look nice to begin with at least lol) just a chain to fit, new cassette with gear cable and housing, crank bolts then shorten the hydraulic hoses bleed and true the wheels up. Here's a few pics from tonight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'scoolfool Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 that is probably the nicest looking pashley i've seen looks brand new! love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robq7653 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks mate, I'm very fussy and took me a while going through every pashley build I could find but didn't see one I liked. Bugging me the seat though it's too dark a blue I think. May have to go black selle Italia I think, the slr xp maybe. Will take some better pics when it's complete with the slr. But I just want ride it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I love pashleys, I love this one but hate the stem and bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I love pashleys, I love this one but hate the stem and bars. Double walls and a matching high rise stem...Whats not to like? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Nice set-up, though shuffle around the updated photos near the bottom for the photos on the top page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robq7653 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I wanted the bars and stem to match and didn't want black so limited on what is out there chrome. It may be changed yet I need to ride it a while first to see of it suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Perfect but for 2 things, red bash plate and seat, that is it. Tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Nice! But a tip...I think you'll find it'd ride a lot better with a lower stem, it really doesn't have the bb height to warrant a front end that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robq7653 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yeh I think you may be right just a quick ride to the park with the dog and does feel a bit high. I can still blunt but need a lot of practice. So does anyone have a chrome stem for normal bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Cant you jus' take the stem down a bit? A couple of spacers less and it might be ok? Are they Azonic bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robq7653 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I might try that later first. No their octane chem one's. Just a few bits until its finished but it's rideable. Can't seem to shuffle pics unfortunately but help appreciated, can't see edit on first post Edited April 2, 2012 by Robq7653 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) I've had the octane one bars, they're big! You'll probably wanna take all those spacers out (try that first) or try a much lower stem, I found an 80/90mm x 10 deg with minimal spacers usually worked best with a pashley. They have long head tubes too which effectively stacks it up before you add any spacers. Bloody nice bike though!

murph82 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Shame you didn't cop one with the union jack headtube, top job on the of era build. I had a similar build with a mini seat, azonic double walls and use tfi's. Loved it but was really a street bike, i found it sluggish on the back wheel but was awsome for rolling moves and smooth to ride. Looked for one last autumn but ended up getting a 24. Still deciding if it was the right choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robq7653 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm still undecided on the seat myself still need to drop a spacer maybe from the headset. Been riding my giant more recently as got a 26mile off road ride coming up and well out of practice. But hopefully get a ride on the pashley during the week. I prefer it without the union jack to be honest only a bit mind. Hopefully got some try all elite cages turning up from Shaun Stephenson. Cheers though guys I'll get some proper pictures taken when I get the hoses sorted and some time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul - bedfordtrials Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Bit late but just wanted to show my appreciation for the build, looks mint. A real blast from the past, reminds me of the days I started up seeing the Tongue bro's riding these.. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
