BOTM August: British Special

[Nader]

the Cleland Aventura is very nice, Saracen even better but I would love to ride with the Dawes cougar ..well let's see what will come :?

Zinn, Kili, Harry Quinn....
Will you all just stop showing off!
My Clockwork's nearly finished, but what's the point????!!!
Guess I'll just ride it instead, once my broken ribs heal (pesky rocks!)!

Well that's secured my vote then..... I would love to ride one of those!

They do ride well ....

I humbly submit my '94 Dawes Special Edition no 10 of 250. Owned from new and has been through some ghastly incarnations over the years but now restored back to OE spec.

1992 Dawes The Edge eXTRa

One more Dawes?

The one and only Dawes "The Edge eXTRa" from 1992 - Reynols 531 Designer Select and mixed with a M900 / M910 group.

Pimped with a rare Reynolds 753 handlebar.

The are British Companies though, does it make a difference if they were Fabricated in the Far East....?

Also we have no Pace, Roberts, Yates, etc....?

Yes, for sure.

The Dawes fillet brazing method was not so smooth like Roberts, Yates and ... but more than good enough for me and a hard ride.

It's the first complete fillet brazed MTB frame from Dawes.
