We would like “unreservedly apologise” to Adam the Pashley Tandem owner whose thunder was stolen from right beneath his nose.
I recently wrote that Rob rebuilt Adams’ tandem, this is not the case. Rob did some work on the B.B and it was in fact Adam himself that restored the bike.
We just got this fine looking Holdsworth tourer in.
Free handlebar lunchbox in matching blue, this week only!
We have a rather lovely ladies bike, built by F.W Evans, specifically designed for touring.
(if you would like to read some history on F.W Evans, please click here).
She is been built using Reynolds 531 touring tubing.
She has Shimano Deore groupset with cantilever breaks (touring specific).
21 gears to help you up the hills.
The wheels have been built using shimano hubs with Mavic module 3 cd rims.
The bars and stem are both Cinelli.
It has a super comfy Avocet saddle and is fitted with mudguards and rack.
As I am not a bike thief and I don’t hang around with any I am unsure about how they operate. What I am sure of is 2 of my friends had their bikes stolen last night (both bikes were in different parts of London).
I reckon as the weather is good robbers are well up for it, it’s prime selling season and they get to go out on the rob on a warm summers evening.
So people be on guard, lock it up somewhere busy, use good locks, use 2 locks, make sure their isn’t much space between the frame and the bike stand when it’s locked (so they can’t saw it without ruining the bike).
If you go down the police station you can get your bike security marked so if the police get a big haul from a gang they can track your bike back to you, it’s a free service.
And biggest thing, don’t buy nicked bikes and parts, if no one buys them, no one robs them, simple innit.
We have a few frames on Ebay.
The Hetchins is on there…it’s a very pretty, I don’t want it to leave, I like looking at it. As you may well imagine it is drumming up quite a lot of interest, the Hetchins are coveted by collectors across the globe, a new to market Hetchins is big news in the dark world of Cycle Spotters.
All I can say if you do fancy a punt is watch out for those people with Bidnapper, they get you every time (I could get Bidnapper myself and play them at their own game).
Paint in very good shape for age,flaking is shown on fork drilling and top of seat stay, also small patch under BB shell.
56 cm top tube ctc,58 cm ctc seat tube,127mm at rear end.
Also with mudguard eyes,for commuting or touring with a pannier!!
Did I mention frame is floresent pink?
Take a punt on Ebay, when she’s gone, she’s gone….
