Blush Pink Hand-Built in England PASHLEY Robin Children's Tricycle/Trike
Up for auction is this blush pink Pashley Children's Tricycle
The frame was hand-built in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England
The company was founded in 1920 and is still going strong
Designed specifically for children aged 4 to 9
The Robin is a robust tricycle that is built to last
These sell for in excess of $500 from new in England
Ideal for children with special needs and coordination issues
We bought this for our daughter who has balance issues, and found it difficult to learn to ride a bicycle
This has been sat in our garage for a couple of years, and needs its tires inflating, oil on the chain and a clean down
I would recommend checking all working parts before letting your little one enjoy the ride
The pink frame is clean and without rust, the white mudguards show rust spots as does some of the chrome on the bike
The Robin is approximately 28" at its widest point
Below is more technical information about the tricycle:
The chunky steel frame is constructed by hand before being given a coat of oven-baked paint that can stand up to even the roughest of treatment
Thoughtfully put together for comfort and safety
The steering stop combines with the powerful front calliper brake to provide stability and control
The single speed fixed gear is easy to pedal without complication, the wide padded saddle is at once comfortable and supportive, and the moulded plastic wheels and fully enclosed chain case prevent any injury to wandering hands
Robust children’s tricycle frame with stable riding position
An easy to mount/dismount frame that is reassuringly stable
Front caliper brake with easy-action brake lever: Lightweight and secure side-pull front caliper brake. Brake lever has adjustable reach for small hands
Supportive steering stop: tricycles are sensitive to large steering angles, so this simple device avoids over-rotation of the front fork, increasing stability
Comfy padded saddle: sits atop an easy quick-release seatpost that is longer/oversized for greater height adjustability.
Fully-enclosed protective chain case: Helps protect inquisitive fingers from the chain. It also helps to keep out dirt and water, reducing wear on the sheltered components
Non-slip pedals helping to transfer your pedal-power more efficiently
Easy-ride single speed fixed gear: ultra-low 1:1 ratio fixed gear is very easy to pedal and allows you the fun of being able to pedal backwards!
Robust and lightweight one-piece moulded plastic wheels: practical mag-style wheels help protect small hands
