Pashley Passion
Quoted from Pashley design manager;
'People do try and imitate our cycles, especially as the retro market is currently quite large, but nobody can do retro in the same way that we can because they don't have the same history and heritage that we do. They also don't have the original drawings from the 1930's.'

Clive Horton, welder & brazier
Clive has been employed by the world famous Pashley bicycle company in Stratford upon Avon since 1992. The firm was founded in 1926 by William 'Rath' Pashley, who developed a passion for all things two-wheeled after serving as a despatch rider during the First World War. To this day, with the expertise of Clive, Pashley bikes are still hand-made, most famously the 'Princess' model featured.

The perfect thing
Sample quote;
'With a chrome finish, creamy tyres and tan leather Brooks saddle and handlebars, the venerable bicycle manufacturer moves away from the high-tech, gadget-filled bike of today and brings us instead something dreamy and nostalgic - and made in England.'
