Let's see your Pashley Guv'nor style bikes!

[Hammond Eggz]

I've been thinking about putting together a bike in this "Guv'nor" style (for lack of a better term), and I'd love to see what other people have come up with.
Anybody out there done this???

*For those not familiar, this is what I'm talking about:

heres my nishiki guv'nuhsan

Nice! Same style, yet original - just what I was looking for.
Anybody else?

 

[sprucemoose]

Ha. I was just drooling over this bike. :shock: I saw an ad for it in the new Kickstand. Such a nice lookin bike! Lobsterboyx--nice ride.

Here's mine. 50's Malvern Star 2 Star frame with 700c wheels, Schwalbe Delta Cruisers, and Sachs Duomatic hub.
I've recently changed the bars from the Soma Noah's Arc to a Nitto promenade - took a little while to get used to the upright riding position, but I think it looks better.

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Wow, that's scary - you've used a lot of the same stuff I've set aside for mine! Nice job!

 

[Unchained]

Great thread idea!

Bean, that bike is gorgeous!

Does mine fall into this category?

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Kinda - sorta.
*Funny, that looks like the bike I'll be using for my version, but in Chestnut!

Does mine fall into this category?

Hmm, too many gears, fenders, need some white or cream tires, and paint it a darker green and you're all there! :lol: Seriously, nice bike! -Adam

Came across this style discussed at a bike shop today. I see what you mean where mine doesn't the grade. I fell in love once I saw one up close. I just cannot bring myself to tear this one apart. Though, I may put this concept on my girl's Peugeot. Thanks for the inspiration!

I don't blame you Plat, I wouldn't either! Love those campus green Schwinns! -Adam
