The parkside 3 speed.
Developed around an upgraded version of the almost timeless sturmey archer aw 3 speed internal gear hub, this classically designed bike provides the reliability and low maintenance that riders over many years have come to experience from this iconic 3speed internal hub gear.
If you are looking for clean lines and simple reliability in your thoroughbred workhorse cambridge city bike, the parkside 3 is the steed to consider.
The lightweight aluminium frame, durable steel forks and light and strong double wall heat treated aluminium rims are all features that provide a comfortable but surprisingly nimble urban machine.
The relatively lightweight of approx. 14.2 kg makes this quality bicycle a great choice for use around the city.
As with all of our the light blue bicycles - the devil is in the detail - please check the many features that you don't normally find on other bicycles to grasp why owning a light blue is that extra little bit different.
