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

[frameteam2003]

While my up-dated roadster does not share the Guv'nors turned down bars/fast look,it does share the 40-635 rim size of the original english roadsters.And in alum rims too.I added modern V brakes and a 5 speed derailer.Lighting is a S/A dyno to a vintage tea cup headlight.

some of mine that have also been made more modern with newer parts as i ride em all, i ride a bike everyday

 

[C.S.]

Looking at all of your pictures I think mine will do.
'62 Union

And even this one: early 50' Gazelle

What makes the Pashly special is that they still make old style bikes, but we can build our own. (imagine smily here)

vintage drop bars from a malvern star path racer around the late forties

the gear ratio is 52 16 and its a freewheel, its the high speed straight down the highway bike

takes some time to get it up there but once you got her wound up she humps along very very nice

I absolutely love your bike, man... you did a great job with it! Did you build the wheels yourself?

Blackadder is my take on the classic English path racer. I set myself the challenge to build the bike with mostly new parts for less than its handbuilt English counterpart. Sure, Blackadder doesn’t have a Reynolds 531 frame and a long wheelbase, but it’s not too shabby. Actually I started with a Raleigh Record Ace frame, supposedly a non-export frame since it has pump pegs under the top tube. I laced the wheelset myself using Sturmey Archer hubs and Sun CR-18 rims. The project was finished so late in the season that I’ve only logged a couple of miles. I’m looking forward to some excellent rides starting in the spring.

Great job ! You nailed the Guv'nor look, Epic !

 

[Hammond Eggz]

:shock: That is AWESOME! Great job - you definitely captured the essence of the originals.

SlyRed,

That is perfect! Everything is really well done. Could you give us a component list of what you put together for this bike?

Thanks,
John

P.S. the more I look at this bike the more details I notice, like the copper colored handlebar grip ends matching the Brooks Special copper rivets on the saddle. Tire logos lined up with the valve stems, etc, etc.
