Dawes Sardar/ Dawes Karakum in London

[Wavell Hinds]

Hi,

I'm flying from Australia to London soon and I was wondering whether anybody knew of a local bike shop that stocked the Dawes Sardar? Alternatively, has anybody seen a Dawes Kara Kum about?

Aside from those two, what touring bikes would people recommend that are under 1000 pounds & suitable for both on-road and more rugged terrain (ie Pamir Highway)?


I really appreciate your help in advance.

Hi & welcome

Have you been to the UK Dawes website ?

http://www.dawescycles.com/default.aspx

Dawes seem to be reducing dealers drastically. They provide for online ordering and then collection from a selected dealer. Their site has a section "how to buy" as well as a dealer selector page.

Not sure if you will find many on the shelf in London although a few emails to specific dealers may help.

Good luck

How about trying Chamberlain Cycles which is Dawes' featured touring specialist this week? I can't see the Sardar on their website though. The Horizon is under £1000 and has a lot of satisfied users on here so another one to consider.
