Just purchased this on the weekend. to replace my other Dawes. Not certain of the age but looks as if the components are original (early 70's), please correct me if I am wrong.The stem is GB with engraved alloy bars, brakeset is Weinmann. Simplex front and rear derailleur with the metal and plastic Simplex shifter. Rims are Weinmann alloy with Sunrise hubs.

Replaced the tires (sorry tyres) with a nice new pair from the LBSS (local bike and sports shop). This shop sells both bicycles and ice hockey equipment as the season dictates. The owner gave me access to his Sturmey Archer parts cache, which was like Christmas in September for me! Any knowledge out there on when Dawes phased out the cottered crank? Any replacement ideas for the Simplex parts?
