The Prospero fuses retro class with the demands of the modern city. Built around the formidable Reynolds 531 frame with a classic finishing kit and a dependable versatile drivetrain.
This is a bicycle that brings our hand-crafted tradition to a new environment.
Created for agility and versatility, the Prospero is built around the proven, tough and lightweight Reynolds 531 steel tubing, hand-brazed to create a beautiful contoured yet purposeful frame that balances performance and comfort.
True versatility comes from the Pashley Porteur front rack, hand-crafted in our factory and capable of carrying up to 6kg of luggage.
High-volume 27.5" tubeless ready rims and tyres glide over rougher roads and more challenging terrain, offering tremendous grip in the wet whilst the powerful hydraulic disc brakes allow you to stay in complete control. The first-class aesthetic and modern-metro capability are competed by a classic silver finishing kit, Brooks Swift leather saddle, and Sugino chainset.
The Prospero is available with three handlebar styles. The drop handlebar complete with silver Zipp 70 XPLR gravel bar with grippy dimpled all weather silicon tape, is combined with Shimano GRX 812/600 1x11 speed wide ratio gravel gearing. The flat bar Prospero is built with the Ritchey Classic flat 10 HP bar and the swept-back bar utilises our own design GB alloy handlebar, both fitted with dependable Shimano Cues gearing. The easy-to-use Rapidfire trigger shifter features a small gear indicator window, whilst the powerful, ergonomically designed brake lever blades allows for single finger braking and complete control. Connecting you to the cockpit are our luxurious hand-stitched leather grips, finished with CNC machined stainless steel end caps.
Just like Prospero in the Tempest, control the seasons with the "equipped" version of each bicycle, outfitted with painted, full-length alloy mudguyards, a bright LED headlamp, colour-coded Porteur rack and a sturdy kick-down stand.

The Prospero comes in three frame sizes shown in the table, followed by their corresponding inside leg length range and stand-over height.
The frame size is the distance between the centrepoint of the cycle's bottom bracket (where the pedal arms extend from) and the top of the frame's seat tube (where the seatpost enters the frame).
Leg length should be measured from the sole of your foot to the inner top of your thigh (in inches) - please note that this is a different measurement to your trouser inside leg length. If your inside leg length falls in-between two frame sizes and you are unsure which size is best for you, please visit our Sizing Page for further guidance.
The stand-over height is the height from the ground to the top of the top-tube.
