Bike for pennies - Dawes One Track (1992?)

[Tolsey31]

£7.50 off ebay. I had to rescue it. A good clean and a minor fettle should work wonders.

What a bargain!!

Cheaper than a London pint

1h15m spent on 1st pass clean. It's one of those bikes where most the wear is from age not use. Paint is very good. Components all good. Tyres and tubes were shot and I'll replace cables. Only tyres on hand are these Maxxis, which should beef up the stance considerably.

That is going to clean up well.

Yep, don't want to spend too long on it but should be presentable and rideable with a few more hours fiddling

Nice! Love the paint on these.

Almost done. New tyres on. Only needed new FD cable. Just need to sort rear brake now, and rummage around for a better saddle.

Looks like a solid workhorse and a bargain to boot.

It almost weighs as much as a horse (just under 15kg)
