Title: pashley frame
Post by: jenks3665 on January 02, 2011, 06:37 PM

Hi all, new to the site and was wondering if anybody knows anything about pashley bmx pro frames.
as far as i am aware they were only made for team use and need this confirming!!!
i have a black one with 4 numbers then pro stamped underneath, really quite light frame and chrome forks.
anyone got any ideas what it is etc???
 ;D

 :) Pashleys were on general sale & were quite popular for a while, the Fortes rode for them for a bit.They did race frames,MTBs and a street/dirt frame with weird adjustable dropouts.Made from Reynolds tubing and were called the TV Series IIRC.

From what I can remember they were available to anyone. There was the 20Mhz (20 inch) and 24Mhz (Cruiser). Quality frames ridden by the likes of Dylan Clayton and I think the Forte brothers. The sad thing is, they don't make them anymore and to make things even worse, I've seen traffic wardens in London riding around on Pashley bikes!

Hope that helps a bit.
