Dude! That is awesome.
Totally forgot about that Pashley logo, love it. That was the late 90s early 00s bike to have (remember it being super expensive though). They seem to only make shopper / city bikes now.
It was Pashley or the blue and yellow Martyn Ashton Cannondale that everyone wanted:
That is soooo cool!
Im into the process of a possible addition of gesring ro my P.3 to give me the option of proper trials gearing and still have itnfor dirt jump duty.
I found a Sam Pilgrim vid where he made pretty much what i had in mind. Helps validate my goals in making an all-around play bike.
1st version
2nd version
Some more old school trials, using as the fashion for broke 16 years repurposed dual slalom/jump hardtails with Kona P2 or C’dale forks.
That steel mesh the photographer had us all on at one point is a cap for a mine shaft! Oh to be young and dumb again, god only knows what the “responsible” adult was thinking suggesting it!
Nice to see although I may have a bigger budget these days and kit has improved (although I still have a soft spot for HS33 brakes) I still have falling off days!
That’s some great classic trials stuff
One of the best things I’ve realised that from the 4 people in the picture after 23 years I still ride with one of them regularly and 1 when I get back to Cornwall. Bikes are pretty good at making buddies.
