Pashley

Here is my latest CL find and Mother's Day gift. This is a Pashley from, I believe, the late-70's, early 80's. The woman I bought it from said she inherited it after her uncle's brother-in-law brought it over from England. All she wanted was $75!

It has rod brakes and a Sachs Torpedo 3 speed hub. The lights and generator still work. The seat tube sticker says "Made in Stratford upon Avon." I've already switched out the funny Dunlop tubes for Schraders. And eventually it will get a Brooks B-66S put back on it along with a wicker basket. The Torpedo hub feels a little weak and cheap to me, so I may eventually lace it to a Sturmey Archer AW if I can't get it to spin better.
