Dawes Low Rider SWB Recumbent -Reduced I’ve reluctantly come to the conclusion that despite all my efforts this metallic green Dawes Low Rider is still fractionally too big for me. As followers of this saga will know, I’ve put a lot of effort into this bike in the last year but it’s too nice to...

Picked this up earlier and I'm chuffed to bits with it.

I'll state straightaway im very much a newbie! and if someone's looking for proper advice should ask the many experts on here or at least an adult :laugh: My criteria for buying a bike centred around simplicity.....no disc brakes, no carbon, single chain ring were the main points. Light..ish...

Anyone know what tubing Dawes used on the Discovery in the 1980s? Thanks

Morning all, still thinning the herd so offering up my Dawes Super Galaxy, in great condition for the age (by a country mile the work area is the rear rack that shows signs of use over the years) The other is wear on the top of the STI shifters, bit of wheel polish on the crank arms, but it is...

The Dawes Low Rider aka Batavus Relaxx aka Flevobike Basic Project These bikes seem identical apart from the name and manufacturers logo. Even the colours are the same. So far seen pictures in metallic dark green, blue, black, and yellow. Built in Holland around 1995 -2000ish by Batavus who...

Hi, Looking for a fair price for my Dawes road bike. In good rideable condition, new crank and cassette fitted a couple of years ago but done probably 50 miles max since then. Is definitely early-mid 1970's but most likely 1972. Great bike and very lightweight for the time. With inflation...

Bike Radar reviewed this £300 Dawes Giro 200 back in 2009. It was awarded a whole 2 stars out of 5. https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/road-bikes/dawes-giro-200-review/?image=4&type=gallery&gallery=1&embedded_slideshow=1 I saw it on for sale on ebay and it was located just round the...

Hi All A friend has one of the above that she'd like to sell. As it's a sale, I've put the details (incl. pics) in the classifieds. However neither she nor I has any idea of what a fair price might be, so if anyone with knowledge has a few minutes to pop over there and advise, I'd be grateful...

This is for a friend of mine - the bike was her mother's, but has been sitting in a garage and then a shed for some time. She's no idea how much it is worth, and neither have I. To my inexperienced eye it looks to be in good condition, apart from some spots of rust on the frame. Handlebar...

I like the simplicity of these 2 bikes, no disk brakes or carbon forks to worry about and ideal for home maintenance, cheap too! So which is the best buy? I like the look of the comet over the discovery but the discovery has great reviews...hmmm.... Any advice much appreciated! ^_^

I have just bought a vintage Dawes bike and I'm struggling to identify the model/year. Can't see any decals or serial numbers so I'm at a loss!

Hi all, Not sure if this classifies as vintage or classic but I'll give it a bash. I picked up this two-owner Dawes Giro locally in Glasgow yesterday for a great price. I wasn't really looking for another bike but couldn't resist. It's a Dawes Giro Competition 300 from 1995-98 (I think). It has...

Just seen John Dawes has died. He was involved in that Barbarians try.

So I'm having another go at building up my Galaxy frame having not been happy with the previous two attempts, firstly with (mostly) Shimano LX 3x9 speed gearing on flat bars then with Tiagra 2x10 speed compact on drop bars. Now that I've retired (and in the current lockdown situation) I'm...

For information purposes only, the seatpost diameter on a 1977 Dawes Galaxy is 26.3mm. I have ordered a new seatpost, the diameter was stamped on the side of the old seatpost, which was very convenient. These models of 1977 Dawes Galaxy have the same frame, so the same seatpost dia 26.3mm.

Hi All, I would really appreciate some assistance with trying to identify the Range this particular model is from. There are a few clues on the frame, but research is proving to be tricky and is not leading to any conclusive results, so far. The only thing Its previous owner could tell me about...
