About the Pashley Britannia
In true British fashion, the Britannia is suited to all sorts of weather, with the chainguard and mudguards keeping you clean and looking your best, whilst the reliable hub brakes and gears are effective no matter what the conditions.
Based upon the model we have produced from our very earliest days in the 1920s, the curved frame is coupled with a classic sweeping handlebar to give you an elegant upright seated position that lets you glide along through the countryside in comfort.
This comfort is enhanced by the inclusion of a hand-made Brooks B66S saddle – made only thirty miles from our factory here in Stratford-upon-Avon – which gradually shapes to your form to become a truly customised and supportive seat. A front dynamo headlamp completes this luxurious lineup, never needing batteries to keep you safe at night.
All this is brought together with our long-earned experience and British craftsmanship, making the Britannia a gorgeous and reliable bicycle equipped to be a lifelong companion.
Features
Hand-built 'step-over' frame
The frame has been hand-built using 100-year-old traditional methods – with tubing hand-brazed into lugs – for the attention to detail that only a frame crafted by hand can possess.
8-speed hub gears
An easy-shift gear lever allows you to tackle hills and glide along gracefully on flatter terrain with ease. Fully enclosed gear system that requires minimal maintenance.
Low maintenance hub brakes
Enclosed and sealed from all weathers, hub brakes are robust and provide excellent stopping power come rain or shine.
Puncture protection tyres
Robust, densely-woven carcasses and inner Kevlar Guard belt offer great puncture resistance, plus a reflective band around the tyre walls provide extra visibility.
Accessories
The Pletscher child seat can be attached to any Pashley cycle that is fitted with our Pletscher rear carrier rack (with ‘easy-fix’ system).
With adjustable safety harness and footrests, the child seat can grow with your child (9 months – 5 years).
It also features a reclining backrest for comfort and an ‘Easy Slide System’ that allows you to move the seat forward and backward for preferred positioning, with the child still in the seat.
