Malvern, 27th September 2018

The Morgan Motor Company are excited to collaborate on two concept bicycles with a fellow British company, Pashley Cycles. Founded in 1926, Pashley Cycles are the longest established British cycle manufacturer, famed the world over for their range of traditionally built and impeccably styled cycles.

With centuries of combined heritage, craftsmanship and passion for their product, Pashley and Morgan are two 'like minded' brands just waiting for the perfect opportunity to collaborate. Greatly received when launched at Morgan's Thrill on the Hill last month, the Pashley-Morgan range includes two new bikes, both of which are produced at Pashley's Stratford-upon-Avon factory. The bicycles have a stylish hand-crafted frame which features a new curved top tube design. It is fillet brazed using Reynolds 631 tubing and incorporates a custom formed top tube, frame mounted race plate, distinctive S-bend seat stays and unique track ends with etched stainless faces.

The Pashley-Morgan 8 is finished in light pearl grey and features subtle livery inspired by Morgan's racing heritage. Hand stitched black leather grips are complimented by Morgan aluminium end caps (based on a dashboard control). Matching mudguard and chainguard are hand crafted in wood, drawing similarities to the cars themselves. The Pashley-Morgan 8 features an 8 speed Shimano Nexus internal geared hub and a Shimano Nexus dynamo front hub paired to a classic domed style headlamp, as well as a Brooks Black Cambium C15 vulcanised rubber saddle with organic cotton surface. Retailing in the U.K. at £1595 (RRP)

The Pashley-Morgan 3 is finished in British Racing Green and livery inspired by Morgan's racing heritage. It also features hand stitched honey leather grips and Morgan aluminium end caps, a Brooks B17 saddle with walnut laminated wood veneer short mudguards and matching chainguard. The Pashley-Morgan 3 features a Sturmey Archer 3 Speed internal geared hub and a Sturmey Archer dynamo front hub paired to a classic domed style headlamp and retails in the U.K. at £1495 (RRP).

The Pashley-Morgan range is available to purchase through the Morgan Motor Company factory shop, Morgan's global network of Dealerships and selected Pashley Cycles outlets worldwide. The range of cycles have had public debuts to automotive and cycle enthusiasts alike, at recent Goodwood Revival and Eurobike events respectively. Following significant demand, both Morgan and Pashley are excited to announce that the bikes are now officially on sale. Interested customers are invited to visit the Morgan factory shop, make contact with their nearest Morgan Dealer or Pashley agent.

'People often refer to Pashley as 'the Morgan of the bicycle world' and so I am delighted that there is now a close collaboration between our two companies, manifested in the new Pashley-Morgan range of bicycles. Pashley and Morgan share many similarities including our unrivalled heritage, design innovation and British craftsmanship and this is evidenced in the beautiful bicycles we have produced. These bicycles will appeal to Morgan car owners and discerning cyclists alike.'

Adrian Williams, Managing Director, Pashley Cycles

'The craftsmen and women at Morgan work passionately to duly reflect the brand qualities within every product we release. When exploring new product avenues and markets, the greatest way to accomplish this, with brand integrity maintained, is to collaborate with likeminded craftspeople across industries. It made absolute sense to embark on a collaborative project with Pashley.

Our approach to developing any new product starts with a blank sheet of paper. It has been a fascinating process working alongside, and being influenced by, Pashley's designers and craftsmen whilst evolving the designs. This unified approach, I believe, is apparent in the final offerings. I am particularly fond of the swept top tube. This feature is not only a first for Pashley, its intention is to mirror the gentle sloping shoulder line of current and future Morgan cars.'

Jonathan Wells, Head of Design, Morgan Motor Company
