Cheap 52cm Dawes Aluminium road bike SOLD

  • Sold
    Hi, This is a bike I rescued from my brother in-laws garage. Wasn't sure what to do with it as the wheels were wrecked and various other bits were missing. So, parts bin special!
    Frame is 52cm square and made of seemingly very thick Aluminium (no coke cans here) and all straight with no corrosion or dents.
    Wheels are Shimano R501 C30, they have done maybe 400 miles, in very good condition. Tyres are Michelin Lithion 2's.
    Gears - well - they work! But it's a bodge - 8 Speed cassette (again, almost new) with an 8 speed capable derailleur BUT the shifters are only 7 speed so I have set it up to ignore the 12t on the cassette. Front is a 53-39 setup.
    I really have no idea if I'm asking too much but I'm basing the £100 price on cost of wheels and tyres, various parts I have put on (cables, stem, saddle, post, chain, derailleur etc) and my time. Ideally I'd replace the brakes but I'm not willing to throw new parts on just yet. If I'm way off price wise, let me know! It would make a good commuter and you wouldn't really be worried about it. For what it is, it rides well.

  • £100 for a working freshly built bike with gears... Bargain dude and then there's the Ono! And 10% to forum... You're giving it away. Bump

    Ps. Reading the title and the price I thought it was just the frameset

  • Hi All, Just going through the PM's now. Will post up a list. Had a surprising amount of interest!

  • Alright, so I've had a flurry of PMs regarding this bike.
    Something I should have said when originally posted is I'll give preference to people who can pick up before the weekend. I'm mostly around during the days and evenings this week (freelance work has gone quiet) so I'll PM everyone back with times. current order of Msgs is:
