Hmmm. That looks interesting. I have heard of Dawes but not that model. There isn't much Dawes presence in Canada and even less here in this city. Is the Sardar a current or discontinued model?

You could possibly get a uk- market frame (like these are - there and much market for quality steel touring frames in the Americas then) posted surface for a surprisingly low price - it's probably worth a little research because of course the buyer can arrange postage, the sender just needs to stick the label on!

Being right next door to the USA (so to speak), there are some incredible bikes available down there. HOWEVER, with the exchange rate, then postage to the border, then arranging a private courier to pick it up and bring it across, plus duty charges, the fun is taken out of it.
