Pashley post bike

[DogRustyJunior]

Hi all,just joined the forum I've bought a Pashley Millennium postman's bike which I'd like to restore and to use,just wondered if anyone else on here owns an old post bike? I wouldn't mind getting another or some spares for it.
All the best
Dan

My LBS (The Hub, Redbourn) runs a 'fete du velo' on Redbourn Common in the summer, including closed road racing. They also ran a fastest timed lap on either a run-what-you-brung or the postie's bike. I was FTD at 59s (on the Real Steel Special) but a younger and more serious rider managed 1:07 on the post-bike!

I've got one awaiting a clean-up and resto. My dad got it for me when the post office that he works at decommissioned them. Seen a few around town too (with the panniers/basket removed).

Pashley sell it as the "Pronto" - branded as the "Mailstar" for Royal Mail

Re:

Here's a PIC for you all main issue is that it has 700c wheels and the wrong mudguards fitted,wouldn't normally be an issue but due to design it needs to have drum brake wheels fitted,so far not found any.

Ahh, you've got the older (cooler) version.....mines the last version that they used. Love it!
