Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy a new bicycle, and after much research on this site and elsewhere, i've come to the conclusion that something similar to the bicycle pictured bellow would be best for me.

Obviously the day-to-day use of an original model would really take it's tole, so i would like to find something fairly new. It's been difficult though, searching on the internet for reproductions and the like. The closest bicycle i've found so far to my "dream bike" is a Pashley, which is beautiful, though isn't exactly what my very particular self wants.

Any ideas as for where to look?


Thanks for the help!
 
i've never seen any reproduction bicycles in that style. but you could try buying a large frame mountain bike and put smaller wheels on it, then cover it in salt and leave it near the beach for a week.

i'm obviously joking...
 
Why a replica? There are a lot of original pneumatic tired safeties out there, and bicycles are really pretty simple machines. New bearings and grease and you're good for several years. Here are some replicas that are available:

Have you looked at Flying Pigeons from China:

Or funky old fashioned bikes from Norway and Holland?

Just a few suggestions, but I'd go for an original and ride the heck out of it.
 
Hey;

if you dont own the bike in the photo here is a possible original bike for sale you could copy.
