Smith and Wesson sell a bike under their name to the Police
(in the US probably). Pashley sell one here IIRC.

ISTR coppers in Southampton using Giant MTBs -- I've only
ever seen them once, though, so perhaps it was just an
experiment.

I've seen a Smith and Wesson police bike in London. Also
Cannondales.

I've seen Smith and Wesson bikes in use by the police in
Eastbourne.

Have you considered asking around your mates? Perhaps one of
them might have a police bike and be able to help you out
with some info or at least ask his mechanic if he really
can't identify the parts himself.

Does Pashley sell the rest of the Smith and Wesson line?

I started having fantasies about Britsh westerns - has
anyone read "Aberystwyth Mon Amour" and "Last Tango in
Aberystwyth"? Louie Knight could use a Pashley Smith &
Wesson.

I reckon an old Welsh-built trike would fit the bill, then
he could keep on taking the train outside Aberystwyth
itself. Mountain bikes wouldn't fit it, it'd be too easy for
fugitives to escape across the mountains to Shrewsbury.

Anyone for allt.fan.malcolm-pryce?

Is that in Smith and Wesson who make firearms?

Sounds like my first bike, a BSA (Birmingham Small
Arms). Vince.
