I.m 67 now and.remember the pavemaster.. I had to save up half the money and parents paid the rest...( I was good at.saving )
Dad walked.me home with it from the shop on Barking road between Greengate and Boleyn.
I took a while at riding without stabilizers but could ride dads trade.bike.around the allotments easy
I recall.a.white.saddle bag and the little.flag on the front. And dad fixing punctures.using the dinner spoons as tyre levers.
One.of the few things I had new .

Hi,
I have one of these, the original bike I learned to ride on, but it's now missing the front wheel.
I am after a replacement wheel, or perhaps a whole bike I could use to help restore my old bike.
Thanks,
Grant

In reply to Julie Moore. I'm not an expert on these so I wouldn't be able to confirm that. By the style of the bicycle I would have thought it would be earlier than that.

Hello recently purchased a child’s trusty pavemaster bicycle...there's a number on the frame below the handlebars of 349723...would I be right in thinking the bike would have been made in 1972

I too have a Trusty Pavemaster and came across this site whilst trying to price it to put it on e bay following my Dad's house clearance. My father bought it for me back in the late 1960's as the thicker tyres would do less damage to his lawn when ridden round the garden.

I have a TRUSTY PAVEMASTER, thick crossbar, rod brakes, saddlebag and white tyres I think from around the mid 50s

I had a Pavemaster same as yours in the early very early 60's learned to ride without stablelizers on it, all was going great till I collided with my mates dads new Vauxhall Cresta taking a corner and smashed his headlamp and my dad had to pay for it. He always used to remind me of it and it brought a smile to my face when I went to his funeral a couple of years ago, to be honest I never really liked the bike it looked a bit girlish, I want a Raleigh the small one with the balloon tyres, looking at it now its not to bad.

Hi Larry, sounds like an early Spacemaster separable. Look for a campagnolo quick release near the steering.
Let me know if it is.

I guess they are worth whatever somebody is willing to pay. This one sold on eBay for £50
