LEON Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) This was too nice not to make a topic for. Got it off Ben Davies. I had one 8 years ago and loved it but I never liked the Pashley forks, too short and too much offset but I just rode it as it was as I didn't have any better forks at the time. With modern 410mm forks it's... 1013 +8 383 About 73, I don't have a protractor. Only had a little manual about but it feels so right already, I think it was the most underrated mid-school frame there was, the other big old school ones were all too dated and there hasn't been much since apart from a Hex which I don't like the bb height.

Private Repress Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Absolutely beautiful, totally agree that it was under rated. Looks like a dream to ride. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Cheers, they weren't cheap and I think they came around when short bikes were on the way out and long seatless ones had been taking over for a while, they can't have made many either, they hardly ever come up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike425 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I love these frames, such a good design and the thin steel tubes look great. I think because Pashley always used those oval downtubes they are straight gauage. I would have thought that if they replaced that with a reynolds butted tube they could have shaved quite a lot off the weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Really miss my old Pashley, such a cool bike. What number is that, not many in black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 It's actually been re done in satin black, but I think it was one of those horrible burgundy ones before. I can't see any numbers, paint must have covered it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved my yon broon yin! I didn't underrate mine at all. Lets all just remind ourselves how well they rode by watching Danny. Also, here’s mine from way back.

Ben Davies Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yep, burgundy before, when I acquired it from @skuzzbucket it had had about 70% of the paint removed, I had it powder coated and those decals are official Pashley ones!

I blame my change of tack on Kenny B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Cocky has it now and is doing a better job of riding it that I was!...before his ankle kissed the ground. The geo was aimed at using a short stem on a frame that was roomy enough to throw around like a comp bike. It worked, to a certain extent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
