I have been trying without much sucess to buy a Dawes Horizon since last April. Well last night I bought a 48cm Horizon on Ebay from Kingsway Cycles, paid for it this morning and it should arrive on Thursday.

Enjoy. I've got a 2002 Horizon and it's been great.

That's good: I'll whoop and holler when you report it's arrived.

Well it's arrived. Put it together, only a matter of turning bars straight and attaching pedals so not a problem. Then came setting up the saddle, well I thought the saddle is to high and needs to be lowered, but the post wont go down any further owing to the bottle cage mount brazings stopping it so its down to the bike shop on saturday to see if I can get a shorter one. Failing that its out with the hacksaw and trim off a few inches. Fortunatly the boingy seatpost from my hybrid is the same size and is shorter so at least I have been able to ride it a bit.

Yay, piccies next and a full report. The end of a long saga, hope it's worth it.
