John Pavey

[toomski]

This is my second bike... John Pavey.. late '80's Reynolds 653. Shes fast and responsive..easily as classy as some of the pricey italians!!! The is a no nonsense machine. Shimano exage motion/biopace chainrings,the front mechis campag. This is a pic of how I purchased her. She is tidy but I'm in the middle of giving the bike a bit of a spruce....Toomski

Very nice looking bike.
John Pavey, was he from Cambridge way?..........

Another tidy bike - but I hope you've levelled the saddle!

That would bring tears to my eyes pointing up like that :shock:

I've got Biopace rings on my Raleigh. I quite like it, but it does have a habit of making you press on rather than amble along.

Another British beauty!

Yeh John was based just outside Cambridge, stopped building bikes in the 90s due to arthritis in his hands.

I was lucky enough to get a lovely blue 531 bike from him in about 94 i think it was. Unfortunately it was stolen in Leicester when i was at Uni. Yes it still grates!

Lovely bike, enjoy it! (not envious at all)

Lovely bike..... Wasn't this in Stevenage?

I nearly bid on this as the price was a bargain, I reckon...... Glad its gone to an enthusiast :0)

I used to have a Raleigh 531c road frame purchased NOS at a bargain price from John; very helpful chap to do mail-order business with.
