Dawes Olympic Bike???

[patrickshortall]

I recently bought this bike off ebay, can anyone help to identify it? It has an Ideale saddle if that's any help and cottered cranks as you can see.
Also is it good quality and worth something or not?
Any help will be appreciated.

Cant help with the model, but well worth restoring.

Re:

Looks to me like a low end bike from the 1960s, as were most Dawes at that time. Are those Haden lugs?

Sorry, what do you mean by haden lugs?

Here is a link which explains the Haden Lugs:

Nice wee bike. Clean it up and enjoy the ride.

Hi,
Looks like an earlier and more upmarket version that the one I just obtained.

Yes I think it has Haden lugs. I cleaned up the hubs and I've realised that the hubs both have velo engraved on them. The rear also says made in Czechoslovakia and is a flip flop hub, any ideas about the hubs?
