Pashley Britannia Step Over Bike

The Britannia is the perfect companion to explore the countryside on weekend adventures or even just nip around town, filling its classic wicker basket with your shopping as you go.

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.

Handmade in Stratford-upon-Avon

The Britannia has been designed and hand-built at our factory in Stratford-upon-Avon. From the brazing of the frame, through to the final addition of its charming ding-dong bell, you can be assured our team have taken great care to produce a beautifully-built British bicycle.
