My beloved 21” Dawes Karakum (53cm seattube, 54cm top tube). Located in Tooting!
Used by myself for touring and by my wife for shopping, for someone 5”8 to 6”
The good:
9 speed Deore/Deore XT groupset with V brakes
Disc compatible frame
Recently replaced cassette
LX hubs, rims are true with plenty of life
Tyres: Continental citycontact 700x37c
Tortec rear rack
Carbon seatpost
ladies leather Selle Italia Saddle
The bad:
There’s a crack in the arch of the suspension forks, and the quill stem is stuck, it rides fine but you could cut the stem and replace the forks
Super smooth ride. Needs a good home, would be great base for a great touring rig
