Hammer price £120, my absentee bid, sight unseen excluding a single photo
Any offers as to the parts value?
I'm feeling comfortable, maybe I'm wrong?

Any idea which year that is? I don't recognise the colour scheme from any Dawes catalogues I've seen. Quill stem and the style of decals must put it at early 90's I guess. Is it 531?

 

[bikeworkshop]

Stickers say 631, fillet brazed.
We sold a couple in 96, 853 fillet brazed

I think it's 93,94?
I quite like the look of the stis and cantis, holding out hope for the hubs, fmech.

94 is it:

631 can't be right with cantis. It doesn't match any catalogue from 93 through to 99. I actually have a 96 one, fillet blobbed would be a better description rather than fillet brazed. There were 631 versions later in the 2000's but they had the larger downtubes as per the Sardar etc

That's Ahead stem and 653

As a Dawes fan, I'm looking forward to you getting your hand on it so we can see what's what

Getting my tubeset numbers discalculated - sorry - should have said 653 stickers.

This Dutch catalogue shows an XTR equipped 653 edge, so looks like 93 after all

It's an interesting one for sure, it's similar to the 93 Edge. Maybe the decals have been replaced at some point.
