If you ask me Pashley makes the best roadster type bicycles today. The problem is the price is up there. At some point it becomes more cost effective to buy an actual old Raleigh DL-1 than a new Pashley. Hey if you've got the cash though and must have a "new" roadster, I think Pashley is the way to go. Their recent "Guv'nor" model looks pretty nice too. [

That said, I'd love to add a new Pashley to my collection.
