I snapped some pics of my Pashley 24'' the other day.
I have had this for a few years now and had many a great race aboard it.
It was a custom build for the late and great Winnie Wright. As Winnie was a postman and Pashley were the main suppliers of post bikes they made Winnie a custom bike, painted in the Post Office red and one off stickers in the Post Office type face. Winnie complained the frame wasnt long enough and they built him a second frame.
I aqquired the first frame shown here when my GT Box series just couldnt go on know more. I had the guys at Pashley repaint it in their beautiful metallic grey.
How I wish I'd not had it repainted, but none of expected Winnie to pass so young. He was quite simply the most respected rider in the 30-39 cruiser class the world over.
RIP. We all miss you.
