Three show special builds, and one big weekend for Pashley.
From retro nostalgia to off-road agility to super sleek speed, we brought our centenary of British design, craftsmanship and frame building artistry to Bespoked, to show the world just how we’re riding into the future.
Thank you to everyone who came to see us, join us for a quick re-cap of the builds, and a quick snapshot of just some of the reaction they received.
Future Focussed
“Now in its centenary year, Pashley Cycles is probably known for ’sit up and beg Dutch bikes and vintage throwbacks …. Its stand was packed with bikes of a different ilk… Its part of the company’s candid mission to bring itself into the modern age… moving into the future, whilst being respectful of the heritage…" More from Bike Radar
“Really happy seeing steel bikes push technology… Blown away by the quality of construction…” GCN on our Roadfinder SL & Wildfinder Mullet
Our Lead Designer, Jon walks GMBN through the design and builds.
"We doubt that many people would have predicted that British manufacturer Pashley, until relatively recently probably better known for their range of elegant town bikes, would have been the brand to trial a mixed format bike. But then in the last couple of years, Pashley have been hugely diversifying their range..." More from Gravel Union
THE BESPOKED BUILDS
Compact, versatile, anything but ordinary.
The Skyline blends the fit and feel of a full-size bicycle with the sharp handling, practicality and fun-factor of 20″ wheels. Bespoke it your way with our Skyline Frameset or one of our three distinct Skyline builds, each designed with a different purpose in mind, from city living to off-road adventuring, but all sharing the same miles of smiles DNA.
BESPOKED BEST SINGLESPEED
We took our show special Skyline Fixed to Bespoked, and left with the Best Singlespeed rosette - and a whole lot of love for our mini velo. Built to amplify the fun - where the loud brashness of mid noughties fixie culture intermingles with 80s BMX, all brought together with a paint scheme inspired by Nintendo’s Gameboy.
Lead the pack
The Roadfinder SL is the discerning road rider’s dream: a handcrafted, performance-focused road bike that blends cutting edge and traditional artisan frame-building with speed, precision, and agility. Individually hand-crafted to your spec, or available as a Frameset. Enjoy the luxurious ride quality and timeless aesthetic that you only get from a dialled in, thoroughbred steel race bike.
"BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY..."
Our Bespoked special was this super sleek Roadfinder SL Integrated. A svelte machine with resplendent mixed metallic livery and polished stainless steel detailing, featuring a visually clean frameset with fully integrated cables. 3D printed frame elements accentuate the blending of the tubes into each other. The polished Reynolds 931 seat tube and post give the appearance of a seat mast but are fully adjustable. They combine with Pashley’s custom 853 SL tube set to amplify the ride quality that only a hand-crafted high-end steel frame can provide
Head way off grid
The Wildfinder takes the spirit of a mountain bike and fuses it with the practicality and efficiency of gravel - giving you a go-anywhere machine that thrives when the ride turn wild. Hand-crafted to spec from expedition-tough Reynolds 853 DZB steel, or bespoke it your way with our Wildfinder Frameset.
"32" WHEELS... THE FUTURE OF GRAVEL?"
Inspired by the emerging 32" wheel size and its increasing popularity among XC and Gravel racers, we set about creating a one-off Wildfinder in a 32/29” mullet configuration for our Bespoked debut. The focus - speed and agility off road. With a colourway that hits somewhere between the vibrancy of a hillside of heather and a box fresh pair of Nike Air MAX 95s. A showcase of our ability to quickly adapt to emerging trends, and a test bed for the Pashley team to assess the potential benefits of the new wheel size. So watch this space...
