Pashley 26MHZ

[ExpertBlay]

Hey so this is something else super special, I sold my Onza T-Master 20” trials bike in august of 2021 and hugely regretted it, I learnt so much off of that bike and took all that skill out onto the trails…after watching some films such as ‘Chainspotting’ and ‘Tricks and Stunts’ I instantly fell in love with these old trials bikes.

For my collection of bikes I wanted to have a nice trials bike, it was either going to be a Cannondale Martyn Ashton signature, a Giant Trials Team MK1 or a Pashley 26MHZ which I got!

The frame and forks have been blasted and powder coated in the correct RAL 1015 ivory colour so all the work has been done for me already. This saves me having to strip the old paint + get it repainted, buy/apply new decals and also finding the time to do it too unless I found one that was in really good condition.

I do already have some parts suitable for the build but am in no rush to get it finished so I’m not sure when it will be done, but as always I will keep the thread updated like I have done with most of my other builds.

Cheers

Charlie

Also just want to say a big thanks too @PLIW for selling me this frameset!

Pleasure to sell it to you. Super easy and smooth. I hope you enjoy it and I’m glad it’s gone to someone trials mad as me.

It’s Astroturf. It’s great don’t have to cut it and get Henry on it to clean it up.

I’m a happy lad now, 16 years old and I have a fully restored Pashley MHZ on my bed!

Just bought a set of wheels for the Pashley, Hope bulb hubs on Mavic 721’s. The hubs are period correct so that’s pretty nice. The v brake surface is also untouched which is super nice, they are obviously disc brake hubs but I’m thinking on getting some rotor bolts that match the colour of the hubs so I can blank them off.

Tyres I have gone for are a set of the new Panaracer Fire XC pro’s with red walls, I have these tyres on most of my bikes and for £30 a set at Merlin Cycles I had to get them, folding bead too!!
