Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Pashley Bicycles

Inspired by my day out with the Three Wheeler, I've had another day out today on a two wheeler! A 1930's style Pashley Guvnor bicycle

Mog Mag did an article on Pashley in their first edition and their Guvnor bike sort of caught my imagination. I didn't think anything more about it until a couple of weeks ago when I was at the factory and saw a bike there by Sales on a stand...very retro racer which apparently Charles had taken a fancy to. It looked very like the Pashley Clubman and I was wondering if he was going to do a hook up with them as they are a classic old bike manufacturer from the 1920's.

I thought that the Guvnor being a copy of their 30's racer might look rather nice in the garage with my Morgan! The test ride today down at Stratford was rather pleasant ...it really feels quite vintage and as a bonus I see that there is quite a following of this model with a busy forum where they call everyone "chaps" and discuss things like old fashioned leather cycling shoes!

Once I've finished spending money on the car I might take the plunge!

Excellent Jays! I look forward to the same route as the Three Wheeler from your helmet cam!!

Lovely bikes!! Who needs therapy when there exists forums like that (not that different from lovely TM by the way )

Keep us updated about the coming purchase of that environmental friendly racer, 0 g/km CO2 (or pretty close...).

I have ridden on and off over the years and I have generally owned hideous mountain bikes with all the rubbish attached, purchased only to do a job, until, seeing Pashley featured in Mog Mag, I too fell in love with the Guv"nor.

So as they say the rest is history and I happily put some some hard earned down on a Guv'nor 24" 3 Speed, never really loved a bike until now..

Thanks Mog Mag..
