As for Chris King they're still probably the best brand out when it comes to hubs and you might aswell invest in one. I've been on couple of bikes with CK hubs and they're brilliant.

BenLeacock™ Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yer chris king are still a big brand and pritty popular. Before getting your heart set on a pashley, id try getting to a big group ride checking some of the newer geo's out and seeing if you like them. The older frames seem to be out date'd now, alot of people ride them and stuff but the geo has completly changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
