TokyoTrials Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Pashley 26mhz and a set of Middleburn RS7's I have recently restored. The frame was originally black with only mild surface damage (no dents or cracks) whilst the cranks were originally black with a blue bashguard. Looks like the previous owner nitromorsed them best they could, but me being a perfectionist had to get them looking mint. That took 4 hours of wet and dry sanding and then polishing to a mirror finish. The frame has been shotblasted and powder coated peppermint green for a retro look with new custom graphics to match the colour of the frame. In time will be building the bike up with matching colour Inspired team forks (longer than normal making the head angle more slack and balanced) and silver components - silver hope pro 2 hubs, silver hope headset, silver hope seat clamp etc. I can honestly say both the frame and cranks now look like they have just come out of the factory:) Pashley 26mhz and a set of Middleburn RS7's I have recently restored.

alanczik Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 looks brilliant!! love that frame! cant wait to see the finish resolute. ( i think silver crank+ stem, and the rest of parts in black will be cool..) only my opinion :wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean/pashley Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Where did you get your custom graphics from and how much did they cost? I've just built up a pashley all it needs is a paint job and stickers. Yours is gonna look pimp, I reckon you should track down the original forks though make it look more authentic.

isitafox Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Colour is perfect and I agree with you about using Inspired forks, I always found the Pashleys to be far too low! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldred_85 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Always loved that frame, very nice colour too! Definately needs lots of bare alu and black parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'd say some white and black components would look ace! Some tan wall tyres would look dope also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
