Wow, I love the looks of that phantom!

Yeah they sure are lovely bikes but I cant help feeling that £800 ($1600!!!) is a bit ... er ...steep for what you get. I think they are hoping to sell them to fashion victims who will park up in their apartments rather than ride them. What has kept Pashley in business over the years is that they hold the Post Office contract, every Postal bike in the UK however old it is is a Pashley.

There will always be people with money who must have the most expensive of anything. Now if you could just find those apartment queen bikes and buy em cheap!

Wow, I would love to see the postmen on bikes here in the states! As far as that goes, we should have more police out on bikes on patrol.

My girlfriend loves the Pashley Princess. I'll end up getting her one sooner or later, mostly later.

Another sweet little bike company is Retrovelo http://www.retrovelo.de/

They make candy colored hotrod versions on regular euro-commuter bikes.

Velorbis makes a few interesting bikes also

i thought it bore a strange resemblence to an older lady named victoria

 

[karfer67]

i thought the same thing sensor. then again after looking at the boardtracker version then to some of the bikes i have seen built here all i can think is BUILD YOUR OWN!!!

 

[sensor]

yup..... i think xddoroxs is much nicer and probably a heck of alot cheaper to build

Another weird bike company from Japan http://www.arrow.ecnet.jp/

They make simple looking singlespeeds, a crazy looking chopper and a trailer that you ride Ben Hur style.

The Pashley Tube Rider is a copy of the BSA paratroop bike of WW2.

As I mentioned in another post my interest in Pashley was generated by one being for sale locally. So I bought it mostly to re-sell this spring. It sits here within arms reach of the computer. I love looking at this thing. I wish I could ride it but the weather is not exactly cooperating up here in Maine. That will change.

The ultimate Pixie Jousting hack???

I haven't seen this thread for a while and I missed the comments on the Victoria. Thanks guys, truly appreciated. She does have the same looking frame as the Princess, but price wise she came at a grand total of $70 when all was done. A lot cheaper and she looks a bit more on the slutty side than the Princess. :mrgreen:

It's the low-tech Segway, instead of charging the battery you find another person to drive you around, instead of leaning, you just tell them where to go.
