Hi all,

Picked up a Dawes before Christmas and have been trying to improve it since, it's a Courier which I believe is from 1951. Pretty original, it even had the whitewall tyres which had seen better days! Frame number is LS6697. Reynolds 531 frame with 3-speed S/A gears. Williams chainset, GB Hiduminium brakes and Ivorette mudguards. Phillips pedals with Strata toeclips and leather straps, working Miller dynamo lights and Sonn-Nett bell. Unfortunately the decals have faded and someone had painted over some of the chrome parts, but getting there with that. Not too many photo's online, I guess these are pretty rare now. Looking to find a new home for her so let me know if interested!
