Not too many companies can claim that they have been hand building their bikes under the same roof since 1926, but Pashley can. The three speed Roadster model has been around for a long, long time. It is still lugged, which is the costliest yet strongest and straightest way to build a frame. It’s also lovingly hand built, start to finish. In keeping with the style, it has some very sophisticated extras: the gigantic Brooks B33 saddle, the rear rack with built in kickstand, the trench coat guard, the enclosed chaincase and the powerful, low maintenance Sturmey Archer drum brakes and 3 speed geared hub.
