If anyone is thinking of buying one & wants the rundown when it arrives, let me know and I'll put a small review and some pics up.

Not one for cycle specific clothing generally, rainwear aside, but a nice jersery would be snapped up.


Oak - agree about Dashing Tweeds. Beautiful stuff (I have a tweed run cap that doesn't glow in the dark), but very much priced for before the recession. I did come across one of the jumpers in Dover Street Market which wouldn't have left much change out of £200!

Explains gear inches, which I guess many cyclists misunderstand, including myself until I read it!...............safe rides, Geoff.

Speaking of changing the sprocket, this is exactly what I did on friday .... my 3 speed now runs a 14 tooth instead of 20 which is a dramatic difference (I ordered a 16 but this lil thing turned up first & I just had to dabbble & as rightly said they can be had for as little as £2.85) ... another point is we found nothing more than a small screwdriver is needed to change it as it's held in place with a circlip.

But thanks to the sprocket it goes like a rocket, however it is a bit of a legbuster .... I would suggest an 18 if you don't want too much of an increase .... the chainline looks much nicer too.

Have you considered changing the size of your rear sprocke to adjust the ratiost? These only cost about £3.00 plus about £5.00 for a sprocket tool to undo the lock-nut.

Riders opinions differ between the single and the three speed, the main difference, although both are fine bikes is the single-speed version is the correct one.

Regards,

Adam

Three Speed Gear: 44", 59", 78". So the single speed is between 2nd. and 3rd...............safe rides one and all, Geoff.

PS: The weight of the SA hubs are: X-RD, 835g & X-RD3, 1400g.

I own a 3 speed guvnor in London. I find I'm mostly in second gear but it's  a little too low for most occasions - and gear three is too high unless I have a downhill section. 

I was thinking about trading in for a single speed version (I have an opportunity to more-or-less do a straight swap.) However, I was wondering how the gearing compares to my 3 speed? Does the single speed gear equal my second gear, or is it set slightly higher as a good all rounder?

Also, is the single speed any lighter? If so, any ideas how much?

Thanks!

Apologies for a very late response to you question re the Clubman frame . Contacted Pashley & you are correct, different tubeset , lugs etc. Specifications to be "released soon".

On a plus note re Pashley's service , they responded very quickly to my request to provide a replacement  Guv'nor owners kit & at no charge.

 Regards

Very positive initiatives.

With regards to accessories & merchandise , good ideas & we have to be able to do better than Dashing Tweeds etc. ( & hopefully at lower costs)
