Skyline
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. Hand-built in Stratford-upon-Avon, it’s designed to make every ride feel fresh — turning heads on the commute, firing you up off-road, or just giving you that grin-per-mile feeling on a chilled city cruise.
Easy to tuck away in a hallway or apartment and simple to throw in the back of a car or train, it’s built for riders who want a bike that fits their life as well as their adventures. Thread it through the rush of London, Tokyo, or New York and feel it dart effortlessly between traffic lights. Load it with racks and knobbly tyres and it becomes a ready-for-anything sidekick for gravel tracks, forest paths, and mountain trails, where the smaller wheels turn every climb, descent, and twist into part of the adventure. Or keep it pared-back for a laid-back roll around town — the kind of ride where you roll slow, soak up the atmosphere, and still turn heads with that unmistakable Pashley style.
Wherever you take it, the Skyline makes the ride feel brighter, sharper, and far more alive.

At home in the City, Ready to Escape
Hand-built in Stratford-upon-Avon from lightweight 725, 625 and 631 Reynolds steel, the Skyline blends practicality with personality. It’s the bike for you if you’re tired of same-old rides and want something that makes you grin every time you get on. Whether it’s sprinting away from the lights on the Alfine equipped- Daily, making a gravel trail feel more adventurous on the Escape Artist build -utilizing the Sword drivetrain, or ripping around town on risers like a grown-up BMX on the Wildcard, Advent geared ride— this is a bike that keeps things interesting.
Choose from three distinct builds, each designed with a different purpose in mind, but all sharing the same DNA: compact and agile 20″ wheels, powerful disc brakes, versatile tyre clearance, mounting points for mudguards and a multitude of luggage possibilities, and a carefully considered geometry that fits like a well-designed full sized bike — just more fun.
Geometry That Feels Full-Size
The Skyline’s smart geometry gives you the confident fit and ride feel of a big bike, distilled into a compact 20″ package. Nimble in traffic, sharp through corners, and steady when loaded — it turns everyday commutes and weekend escapes into something far more exciting.

Each Skyline is hand-built to order. Current lead time is 12-14 weeks from confirmation. A little patience is required, but the reward is a bicycle made just for you — one that will last a lifetime.
Effortless style for everyday rides.
The Daily — Alfine 8 City living
Understated yet full of character. With polished silver components and a Brooks leather saddle, it’s the Skyline that most nods to Pashley’s heritage — classic looks with a compact, modern twist. The Alfine 8 hub gearing keeps things clean and low-maintenance, ideal for fast getaways at the lights or relaxed spins across town. Add guards, a rack, or a basket and it becomes the ultimate city companion — perfect for apartment living, train hops, or quick café stops between rides.
Commute all week. Disappear all weekend.
The Escape Artist — Dropbar Gravel / Adventure
Fitted with a Brooks Cambium saddle and built around a fully featured frame with mounts, dropper routing, and bikepacking potential. Pack light or load up — hydration, frame bags, dry sacks, or Mini-Velo panniers all fit perfectly on the bespoke Skyline rear rack. The MicroSHIFT Sword drivetrain keeps shifting slick and precise on 20″ wheels, whether you’re spinning to work or chasing the horizon. Commute hard through the week, then roll straight into adventure mode at the weekend. On gravel, those smaller wheels make every trail feel alive — you don’t just ride the terrain, you feel it.
Full of attitude, light on limits
The Wildcard — Riser Bar with Chunky Knobbly Tyres
With wide riser bars, fat tyres, and a stance that dares you not to have a good time, the Wildcard channels pure BMX energy in a grown-up frame. It’s quick, flickable, and unapologetically fun — the kind of bike that turns shortcuts into detours and commutes into joyrides. Add a porteur rack if you want to haul stuff, or keep it stripped back for that raw, clean look. Powered by MicroSHIFT Advent gearing for smooth, snappy shifts, the Wildcard turns every shortcut, side street, and back alley into your personal playground.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What is a Mini-Velo, and why choose one?
The Skyline is a "Mini-Velo" — a compact bicycle with small 20″ wheels that rides like a full-size bike. Mini-velos are hugely popular in cities like Tokyo, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam, where riders prize their agility, style, and practicality. The Skyline accelerates quickly, carves through traffic with sharp handling, and is far easier to carry up stairs, tuck into apartments, or load into a car or train. At the same time, its geometry feels “normal” — you get a full-size fit and ride feel without compromise. In short, the Skyline combines the best of both worlds: practical, space-saving, and versatile, yet still addictively fun to ride on city streets, trails, or weekend escapes.
Can I use it for bikepacking?
Yes. The Skyline’s frame has all the mounts you’ll need to fit racks, cages, and bags. While not a pure expedition machine like the Wildfinder, it’s more than capable of loaded weekend escapes.
How does it compare to a full-size bike?
The Skyline uses compact 20″ wheels, but the geometry is designed to give the same fit and feel as a standard bicycle. The difference is sharper handling, quicker acceleration, and a smaller overall package.
Why MicroSHIFT instead of Shimano or SRAM?
Because it works best for the Skyline. With smaller 20″ wheels, the bike needs a short cage derailleur for smooth, reliable shifting — something Shimano and SRAM don’t currently offer. MicroSHIFT does, and their latest groupsets have proven crisp, durable, and a perfect match for this bike. We wouldn’t use them if they didn’t meet our standards.
Is the Skyline suitable for commuting?
Absolutely. The Alfine build is ready to roll straight out of the box, designed for low-maintenance, everyday urban riding. The Advent and Sword builds are equally capable — their versatile frames and mounting options mean you can configure them for commuting with racks, bags, or guards, while still enjoying their unique ride characteristics. No matter which build you choose, the Skyline adapts to city life with ease.
