Talk:Pashley Cycles

Royal Mail confusion

Resolved

Here are five statements from the article, as it currently stands:

1. In the 1960s Pashley supplied the Post Office
2. Eventually Pashley took the entire contract and so it remains
3. Royal Mail remains Pashley's largest customer
4. Pashley continued to supply the Post Office through the 1970s and 80s
5. Famously, Pashley made bicycles for the Royal Mail (the Mailstar) up until 2010…

Could someone with the requisite understanding please combine these to remove duplication and contradiction? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 17:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Resolved, thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:31, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Moulton Bicycle

The relationship with Moulton Bicycles is not clear, and that article says "In August, 2008, the company announced it will merge with British bicycle manufacturer Pashley Cycles", which is not mentioned here. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 20:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

This has been changed to " the company announced that it would merge with British bicycle manufacturer Pashley Cycles" (my emphasis); still not mentioned here. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:35, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

One of the last three?

The article tells us that:

Pashley Cycles [. . .] remains one of the last 3 companies to still manufacture bikes in the UK, the others being Moulton and Brompton.

This surprises me. Well, it's hard to know what's meant by "manufacturing" bikes; but if it means manufacturing frames and then attaching to these frames components from elsewhere, then British bike manufacturers include Roberts, Burls, and more.

(Perhaps "in quantity" belongs after "the UK"; but this would of course raise the question of what "quantity" is.) -- Hoary (talk) 10:20, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

No response, so I'm about to change this. -- Hoary (talk) 10:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Adrian Williams

If Adrian Williams is a key people [sic] according to the infobox, why is there no mention of him in the body of the article? 94.197.127.85 (talk) 21:03, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Copy or copied?

I just looked at the Pashley website's "our-heritage" page. This article is either copied word-for-word from that page, or that page is copied word-for-word from the wikipedia article. http://www.pashley.co.uk/about/our-heritage.php <--see for yourself. Either way someone needs to get some attribution going so we poor readers can tell who's copying whom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renglish (talk • contribs) 01:20, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
