Help On The Pashley 26ghz

[Greeny]

If anyone knows anything about pashley 26GHz then keep on reading....

i have some questions on this bike so if you could, would you answer as many questions as you could for me that would be great.

1. are pashley 26Ghz any good. (do they snap easily etc.)

2. were abouts can you get them from and are they expensive?.

3. can you buy the frame on its own?

4. does it have a rear disc mount? (if i was to get one i would convert it into a 24" )

ok thats the questions about the pashley.

here are some questions to see if these are possible.

1. can you fit a rear profile to a 24" wheel if i was to run single speed on the front sprocket and the profile on the back?

2. could you fit a Hope Pro 2 hub on the front of a 24"

3. were could i get 24" spokes from?

4. if the pashley did not have a rear disk mount could i have one made to fit it so i could run 24"

ok thank you if you have read this post i have tried to keep the questions to a minimum.

the reason for all of these questions are that i have a zoo python at the moment and i want a change from it so i have been looking at some frames that i like and this pashley has come up. its very rare you see these bikes around this is why i would like one. and in 24" and hopefully no one will have one.

i am not 100%, sure if i am getting one of these i will just have to see what answers i get to my questions.

also if anyone has any photos of a pashley would you please post them.

Thank you

1. are pashley 26Ghz any good. (do they snap easily etc.)

2. were abouts can you get them from and are they expensive? £445 from www.airevalleycycles.com, so not cheap compared to other frames around at the moment.

3. can you buy the frame on its own? Yes.

4. does it have a rear disc mount? (if i was to get one i would convert it into a 24" ) No.

ok thats the questions about the pashley.

here are some questions to see if these are possible.

1. can you fit a rear profile to a 24" wheel if i was to run single speed on the front sprocket and the profile on the back? Yes, but you'd have to use a mountainbike version of the Profile BMX hubs, which don't seem to last as well.

2. could you fit a Hope Pro 2 hub on the front of a 24" Yes.

3. were could i get 24" spokes from? www.tartybikes.co.uk should be able to give you a hand.

4. if the pashley did not have a rear disk mount could i have one made to fit it so i could run 24" You could probably have one made, but the rear stays on the Pashley aren't super thick or anything, so it might not take it too well. You could, however, have the brake mounts rewelded on lower and run a rim brake?

ok thank you a lot that has answered a lot of my questions some are good some are bad.

i suppose i could get the magura mounts re-mounted lower down so i could run rim brake, i just thought it would of been easier to run a disk (if it was to have a disk mount).

money:

also is that just for the frame?

would you get forks with that?

thank you

The money is just for the frame, no forks i think.

You could get some adapters made so you can run 24" magura mounts on a 26" frame.

That's just the frame price, so no forks, headset, BB, etc.

Better off asking IOLO to make you a custom frame for 24" to suit your geometry

can be problems changing 26" frames to 24" cos' of BB drop an shime

People can give you more info about IOLO soild bikes cheap srong custom frames built to your spec

Incidently i wanted this frame a bit ago and i emailed Pashley, i asked info on the bike etc and none other than Tim Steadman (Pashley rider) emailed me a very informative reply, telling me how it rides etc, maybe try that?

Top notch frames, your own geo, £270 i think, handmade steel frame, if they break then im sure Aran will fix it pretty cheap, maybe even free. Here

IOLO sound really good, i have just had a quick look on there web site and found it very interesting i think if i was to have a bike from IOLO i would most defiantly have the carbon top tube .

i see they have models of bike but could i tell them a complete different idea just for me would they make it me?

i also like it how they will help you out as much as you can, they sound like they want you to have the best they can offer and just don't want your money.

thank you
