Welcome to Bishops
What is a Path Racer?
Path is the old fashioned Victorian/ Edwardian cycling term for track. So a path bike is purely for the track. High bottom bracket no clearances and no drillings for brakes. A Road-Path is a bike with track ends that is dual purpose for both road and track racing, angles not quite as steep and bottom bracket lower than a pure path (track bike). Normally the front fork crown is not drilled for a brake. They run 28" wheels, and feature horizontal drop-outs (Fish tails). Another term for Road-Path is Road-Track.
Who are Bishops?
Bishops formed in 2009 by a group of New Zealand bike enthusiast in a garage on Bishop Street, Christchurch. They are dedicated to restoring and building custom Path Racers for all to enjoy.

Awesome! is it clear coated? what are the tyres?
ReplyDeleteHey there; not clear coated yet - had the frame and bits sandblasted...then needed a couple of minor repairs...so she's already getting the odd patch of rust back. Plan is to sandover again and then clearcoat.
ReplyDeleteTyres...not sure, no markings, they might even be tubeless? Mog/Jeff any idea?
