Hi that’s really good of you I would really like to find out which team he was with when he rode this bike
I bought it from Brian Rourke but can’t remember the exact date lt was either late eighties or very early nineties
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for that I would be very interested if he knows who the frame builder was and what the colour and decals were when he rode for KJC as I would like to restore it to how it was
I think the frame is from KJC era as I think I bought it around the early nineties
Thank for all your help

It looks like the Dawes frames did have a number tab, but it is difficult to see in the few color pics I could find:

Darryl Webster, feck sake that brings back some gory memories! He hammered me in a 25m TT back in the day. 4 minutes... I was about to pack in cycling altogether!

Darryl was a great, world class rider, so no shame in losing time to him. Being outspoken and rebellious, he never achieved his full potential, often battling the establishment instead of concentrating 100% on his performances.

Saying that, that stage he won in the Nissan Classic was phenomenal

He runs a FB page, 'Real 80s cycling' if it's of interest. Too much one sided politics for me though
