Pashley Roadster

[skudupnorth]

Chain guard fitted, not sure if it will stay on depending on how much of a pain it becomes if I have a puncture

A rear tyre with puncture protection isn't optional on a bike with a full chain guard

What a great looking bike! I hope you enjoy it.

I purchased a Dutch Gazelle about a year ago. 28” wheels, linked rod operated drum brakes, fully enclosed chain, 3 speed hub... a bit over 56 pounds on the shop scale ( damn near broke it )

The ride of these big lumps is fantastic. It sets the pace, you are just along for the ride to enjoy the scenery. I’d never be without one now.

Thankyou, The couple of trips I’ve had already have been an absolute pleasure and just puts a smile on your face

Your bike looks fantastic, like you say, they roll really well over the lumps and bumps plus you seem to slow down and enjoy the ride more

Fingers crossed 😆

Happy Christmas Roadster ! Eldest daughter asked what I wanted for my present so I gave her my little wish list from Pashley to upgrade the very bland badge for something more in keeping with the old bike. Also adding a bit of gold lettering to the chain guard

Fitted my latest cycle jumble finds including a new old stock Brooks rear carrier and another bell in black to match the bike

That carrier looks like it was fashioned from an old man trap.

It’s certainly got some strength to it, I didn’t really want to take it out of its paper wrapper but I have been on the hunt for one since I got the bike running

It's typical of the carriers used on pre-WWII British bikes and their modern South Asian clones.
