Proper old school, deraileurs and shifters suggest 1983-85: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=164918

It's a Dawes Ranger. I used to have one in the 90s. Probably one of my favourite ever rides as it was one of the few bikes that was long enough because of the super layback seat post (complete with quick release).

Used to give it real ragging in North Wales until a bike shop owner warned me of the possibility of the forks collapsing because of their age.

All original parts by the looks of it with the exception of the saddle and rear tyre.

Sadly a cracked bottom bracket shell was what did for it in the end - I'd love to own another one but that's too far to travel.

I hope he's been mounting it with the seat on

PM me of you want me to pop down and collect.
