I had a 1950 Dawes Red Feather path racer. It was a true patch racer. Pashley is not. They are pretty. It was a term for bikes that would handle light off roads such as gravel grinders....so yea. They were an original gravel grinder. So where is the return of the path racer? Is it a specific model or?

Path racers and grass track racers were one and the same. Very popular in the 50s, 60s. Usually fixed gear or single speed set ups.
