hydro is a bit of a coup - @Hovis has the maguras on his too. Think yours is a '91, I've got a solo in that colour. re: the different level top tube, surely there's not much to it? just provides a slightly reduced standover height for the stoker.
don't worry about the flex, it's not awful and the benefit of it being a reasonably standard tubeset is it doesn't weigh a ton. -
I've got virtually the same Dawes, less equipped though. About time to post it here:

Hi All,
Add me to the list of recently accumulated! Me and girlfriend recently got this one off ebay for touring. Haven't had a chance to get it out yet - it's currently living at girlfriend's parents' house.
Seems nicely set up for it: front & back racks, hydraulic rim brakes and rear hub brake. It's 531 though, which I've heard that can be very soft riding fully loaded?
Also does anyone have any experience/knowledge of the different level top tube?
