This sums it up

I have mentioned (at nausea) a few times before that I sometimes hanker for the past. This bicycle from English maker Pashley sums this up quite nicely. It is a 1930's racer but made with modern materials and equipment. This is ME! (The price, however, is far from that era ). With wooden mudgards and a 3-speed hub it looks the part

Ah yes, the good old days, when you could call a spade a spade

Nice bike

Those wheel hubs give away when it was made though

I wonder what kids of today would make of it Where's the suspension

I had one like that in 1956 but it had solid steel brake lines.

Did I miss an Omega connection somewhere?

Shall I get a Mod to move this to another Forum?
