The Guvnor comes equipped with 635mm rims and tyres which is a nod to it's retro origins... believe the other Pashley roadsters comes with 700c wheels as the tyre availability for 635's is slim.

The spec page on their website is very poor...
"Sturmey Archer 5 speed hub gears" Yeah, but which model? S-RC5 with a 256% range or whatever?
"28 inch wheels" That means... 700C x ??mm tires ? ISO 630mm? ISO 635mm?
How many teeth does the sprocket have? No mention of it anywhere...

• Gear 1 - 62.5% (-)37.5%
• Gear 2 - 75% (-)25% (Gear 1 + 20%)
• Gear 3 - 100% Direct Drive (Gear 2 + 33%)
• Gear 4 - 133.3% (+)33.3% (Gear 3 + 33%)
• Gear 5 - 160% (+)60% (Gear 4 + 20%)
On the Sovereign models the front hub is the X-FDD with 2.4w dynamo (no powering a back light), and on the Classic it's the X-FD.
The Sovereign's front lamp is the Busch and Muller Lumotec Retro, without standlight. I think the rear Pannier light is currently the Busch and Muller Toplight Flat.
That's all I know.
No idea about the sprockets.

You guys are killing me. I really want to buy a guv'nor for my husband. I'm not even that nice to him most of the time. And he says he would never ride it -- he loves his Giant ATX and Martin Hawes bikes.

He eventually decided it required electric assist. The weight and sweatiness were the issues.

More about it in other threads. I searched for username macteacher, keyword pashley. https://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=6386658
There's a reason why bikes such as this are popular only in cities where the terrain is dead flat and the average high temperature in July is only 73°F.

Give this classic a new home. $950
