Enquire about AURORA
AURORA
Our lightest classic bicycle, the Aurora is ready to take you wherever the road leads. With 8 gears at your finger-tip control, you are well-equipped to commute in town or explore the countryside at your leisure.
The Aurora is a hugely versatile and unique ladies bicycle, offering a dynamic ride that is suited to all sorts of pursuits. The stunning mixte style frame is constructed from legendary Reynolds 531 tubing that is at once lightweight and stiff, built completely by hand to offer a swift yet elegant riding position.
This sense of refinement is completed by the Old English White or Peppermint paintwork that carries with it an understated beauty that complements the rich honey colour of the Brooks B17S saddle, made by hand only thirty miles from our factory. As head-turning as the Aurora may be, it also excels in the choice components it is graced with. The 8 speed Shimano Alfine hub gears allow you to tackle even the very steepest of hills whilst requiring little maintenance, and the narrow alloy rims with Panaracer puncture protected tyres give you the chance to ride at speed without unwelcome interruption.
Whether in busy city traffic, on winding country lanes or anything in between, the Aurora is a true all-rounder that can stand up to the rigours of modern life without losing the elegance and reliability for which Pashley’s bicycles are renowned.
The Aurora comes in the three frame sizes shown below, followed by their corresponding inside leg length range.
| Frame Size | Inside Leg Length |
| 18" | 27-31" |
| 20" | 30-34" |
| 22" | 33-37" |
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.
