I have a Dawes bike to look at tomorrow. I know this much: 25in, Reyolds 531 steel frame,
Campagnola gears, 6 freewheel and 4 ring front chainset [?], cantilever brakes.....and I think it's
about 15 yrs old.
Being 6ft 3in, the fact that it's a 25in frame is what attracts me first of all.
The guy is starting the price at 100 quid, which might be a bit more than I can spend right now
[last of big bike spenders!], but if it's worth it, then I might be able to get the cash.
My question is: has anybody any idea what this bike might be? It has cantilever brakes, so it can't
be that old, might it be an old tourer? Has the 4 ring chainset been added subsequently I wonder?
What else might I want to look for when I go and take a view, to help me place this bike? Any ideas
would be welcome.
Many thanks
Bob
