Hi. I bought this for a chum about 15 years ago and he has used it since for exercise and carrying kids on holiday etc with a child's seat. I have serviced it regularly for him and its done very well. Handles well, stops well, changes gear just fine and its comfortable. One of the changers...

Bought from eBay. The pictures will tell a better story but in short. I reckon its a 20" frame. I think it rides very well. I cleaned it up, fitted some Mavic wheels, a set of mudguards and refurbished the headset. Will come as seen with the rack and a bell. Currently fitted with a ladies...

Dawes Renown Audax/Road Bike. Exceptional condition. Reynolds 531. Only one previous owner of this lovely bike, who purchased it in 1981 from Overburys in Bristol. (I have the original receipt). It was cherished by its previous owner and fastidiously maintained by me to respect its history...

Bought a couple of months ago off the internet. I have cleaned, greased and fettled but whatever I do the bike remains too small. Lovely to ride. Seat Post and stem move freely. Pictures are far more eloquent than what I might compose. Happy to discuss viewing, cash £150 ish or similar bike...

Any interest in my daughter's Super Galaxy? I bought this a few years ago for my daughter from an old fellow who had bought it to do one ride, LEJOG. She used for a Vancouver - San Diego tour, and then Swiss/French border to Brittany, plus a few shorter trips and a bit of commuting, so not a...

I have a Dawes Giro 400 frameset for sale. It’s a 51cm seat tube with 54cm top tube. Comes with carbon forks bonded to an alloy steerer, headset and star nut, and seatpost and saddle. There is some signs of corrosion behind the seatpost and near the chain stays. It’s lying round not doing...

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! ^_^
