The Pashley Guv’nor (ignore the dreadful name), handpicked by company to “indicate the revival of our great English bicycle heritage” is a strikingly sleek recreation of company’s ages-old Path Racer Model from the 1930’s. The elegant appeal of the model features a hand-crafted Reynolds 531 diamond frame (in 20.5, 22.5 and 24.5-inch sizes), undisturbed style forks, Brooks B17 Titanium saddle, drop North Road handlebars with fleece grips, a single speed rear wheel, 28-inch gold lined black alloy rims and the tyres on its front and back are very light. Affordable only for uber-rich, the £795 price tag can only convince the rich-you as extravagance doesn’t consider spill over of few extra $$$ but can’t compromise at opulence.
