Bike for pennies - Dawes One Track (1992?)

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

Can't say no for that money! Do you mind waiting until I've jettisoned the Dawes to prevent me tripping over bikes in my garage?

Sure, no problem. That's why I bought it

The Dawes is done now. I added a new saddle and post. The post I used is 26.4 and fits better than the 26.2 (original I think) post that was in there. Also replaced the quick release as the one on the bike had a bent bolt (through over-tightening a too narrow seat post?)
The bike will now be released back into thEbay, where it will hopefully find a partner to care for it

Nice, it's like the bike had a little pitstop at a retreat, got pampered and recharged, and now is continuing on its journey.

Didn't notice the offroard forks at first!
And the little stem.
Solid and beautiful pub bike now.

25 years back we were riding bikes like this round Coed y Brenin! Splendid.

Hi, I bought Scant's Rockhopper frame which was just what I was looking for...but thanks anyway

I handed the Dawes over to a young lad in London last week, so it lives on.
