Hi RetroBike - I'm new here, I had this posted in Retro MTB but was informed it may garner more traction here. I have a DAWES frame that I have long been intrigued about its heritage, I have trawled the internet to find out what model it is and have found nothing substantial so am hoping your...

Hi RetroBike - I'm new here so I hope this is the correct place to post. I have a DAWES frame that I have long been intrigued about its heritage, I have trawled the internet to find out what model it is and have found nothing substantial so am hoping your greater knowledge may be able to help...

1994 Dawes the edge. Fillet brazed Reynolds 653 tubing

Hi everyone, I'm selling my heavily upgraded vintage Dawes Ambassador. I built this as a summer project a few years back - it was a full conversion to 700c wheels/STI shifters/dual pivot brakes from the original setup (see final pic for the bike as I originally bought it in 2019). The only parts...

1968 Dawes catalogue and price list

Hi all, I’m selling my Super Galaxy. More details in the link below to the eBay listing. I’m pretty sure it’s the 1990 model based on the old Dawes catalogues. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276416031493 It’s a really smooth ride but can’t justify keeping it due to how little I ride it. Recently...

Hello everyone, I would like some help identifying this Dawes 531 Super Tourist. I think it might be from the late 80s. Also, I was wondering on the rough price it could be sold for. Photos Many thanks!

1981/2 Dawes Galaxy large 60cm frame and forks. Reynolds 531 tubes. Reconditioned bottom bracket and headset. Some small dents in the seat tube due to over enthusiastic removal of a stuck seatpost. Needs paint or leave ratty. £40 plus post and packing or collect from Southampton.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and new to road bikes. I recently found a Dawes Chevron that is in need of some love. The whole drive train (gears, cranks, chain, gear shift, etc.) needs replacing and I also wanted to fit disk brakes - I know it's not in keeping with the original but I...

Any opinions on the Dawes Edge 631 tubing? Couldn’t help but buy one just now, pretty much timewalk condition from a chap just a couple of miles away from me (he bought it new from the bike shop halfway between mine and his)! Seems like a good steed and fairly light for a steel frame. All...

Hi all, new here. I've been told this might be a great place to get some advice. I inherited some bikes and am looking to sell them but have little idea as to value or what the specific models/years are. As well as 3 Bromptons in good condition, a Santa Cruz frame with Marzocchi Bomber...

Here’s some photos of my recent ’85 Dawes Ranger refurb. Not one for the purists, this, as I decided to ditch certain original parts to make it a bit more enjoyable to ride and fun to use. Hence refurb rather than restoration. I’ve owned it from new (still have the receipt!) although it’s done...

Greetings all.... I was recently given this rather sad looking Dawes but I cant figure out what it is? It might be 60s or 70s and the head tube says Dawes but the frame is brazed/welded? If anyone has a clue I'd be pleased to hear from you. Looking forward to finding out more..

Made in England, custom fillet brazed Dawes the edge mountain bike. 1995. 18 inch. Small for 18. More of a 17 inch in reality. Frame is in superb condition. Xt brakes, xt groupset. Different series. M737 shifter brake combo. Full xt groupset. Solid, dependable ride. Smoothes out rough terrain...

I have just bought a vintage Dawes bike and I'm struggling to identify the model/year. Can't see any decals or serial numbers so I'm at a loss!

Hi All.. I have had this bike since new but has been neglected for quite a few years.. can anyone advise if this is something that is: Worth selling Worth renovating & selling... Thanks in advance! RRA

Hi all, I have a question about my old Dawes Ambassador - I've locked my back wheel in the frame lock and I don't have the key. I didn't realise it was a frame lock until I'd locked it and saw the keyhole afterward, don't ask... It looks like it's about a 10mm rod, I don't use the lock and it's...
