The wheels are larger than 700c (635 vs. 622 for 700c) and the bottom bracket is really, really high. Chainstays are nearly horizontal. Laing On Friday, November 3, 2017 at 3:55:28 PM UTC-4, George Schick wrote: > Yeah, I'm quite surprised that there was no interest there. Then again, > I'm

Yeah, I'm quite surprised that there was no interest there. Then again, I'm surprised by a lot of things there. But since you brought it up I have a question about the bike: It's listed as having a 22.5" frame yet it looks much larger than that in the photo. I ride a road bike with a 54 cm

George, that is my ad as well. I have had zero luck selling things there locally for sometime but I still post. I will likely just bring it to the swaps this winter if it doesn't sell before then. I'm flexible on price if anyone wants to make an offer. Not Joe Bernard price flexible, but

I've wanted one since the first pics at a bike show, but I've never been able to get a price-to-use ratio worked out that makes sense for me. I suppose if I ever stumbled on one for $600 I would grab it, but by the time Guv'nor prices drop that low I'll be too old and creaky to get my leg over

This exact same add appeared on a Chicago bike blog a few weeks ago. Interesting how its appearance here immediately generated more than a few positive comments (as well it should) whereas on the Chicago blog there were none (as far as I can tell). Different audience, different mindset, and

Now is your chance to live your dreams, Doug! I have seen many copies of the Guv over the years. Down to taking an old Raleigh with 531 tubing and building it almost to spec. It is also why I wanted one as well. The 531 tubing is amazing, it has a great set of "modern" parts and rides like

Ugh... why did you have to post this dream bike of mine and in my size, too. I almost built a knock-off a few years ago and had a guy lined up to bend the forks for me. Never completed the project. I had those same delta cruisers on a Robin Hood and they were nice, but I’m just as happy with my

It's really smooth. Not a quick accelerating bike but it gets. Those big rims and tires are very plush. And roller brakes are great. I always have a conversation with a random stranger when I take it out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Everything you ever wanted to know about Guv'nors, including why everyone buys the wrong size. Great bike, I'd love to have one but I know I'd never ride a singlespeed around here. https://stuffdavelikes.wordpress.com/pashley-guvnor/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Man, that would look nice with that AM hub that I've been hoarding for a few years. Too bad that it already has wheels ... (or rather, good thing, for my budget). How does it ride, with that 1930s geometry, compared to a modern road bike -- let's illustrate "modern" by a Roadeo, a Roadini, a
