    Would this Dawes be worth saving?

    I have the opportunity to save this bike from landfill and I'm wondering if anyone can advise whether it's worth keeping as a forthcoming winter project. Can anyone date it? Looks like '80s to me... Nothing is known about it, it's been found in an old shed that's being torn down by new...

    Finally got one....but there's a question

    I've been after a Dawes galaxy for some time. There have been several around but always in the wrong place or above budget or just too new. Anyhow picked this up fairly local for the right price with the right spec I wanted. It wants a few very small jobs doing but not much at all It rides...

    I've picked up a loose folding Dawes Kingpin frame and forks. It came with a few other bits - crank, mudguards, stem, bars. I'm intending / hoping to rescue it in some manner. Unfortunately it does have a crack in the head tube but I think its fixable with a stopper hole and suitable...

    Dawes vs Ridgeback.

    Hi all I was previously a very keen cyclist until old injuries (and age) took their toll on me a couple of years ago. I have been pottering about on an e-bike for a while but have now reached a stage where I feel well enough to get another 'real bike'. I'll be using it to up my fitness and...

    Dawes Jaguar

    picked this up a couple of weeks ago but hadn't had time to do much. Just taken it for a leisurely 10 mile ride. Seems fine, shame it's going to be a donor bike for some of the bits. May just strip and eBay the frame as I've already earmarked the shimano 600 tricolour gear for another bike and...

    Dawes discovery twin tandem

    We test rode and bought a friend's tandem today. We were very wobbly for the first five or ten minutes and I'm very glad that we started off on quiet roads. Once we had got used to tandem riding, it was a very enjoyable ride. We rode 27 miles, with a café stop at a local wildlife trust. We...
