For sale: Dawes Hardware 16" 26er 4130 Cr-Mo mountain bike. I bought this from an eBay seller who had owned it since new (approximately 1994 from what I can tell from the Dawes catalogue archives?) 18 speed, cantilever brakes, thumb shifters all in good working order. Looking for £50, collection from Brockley, SE London. Any other questions please feel free to ask!
A project designed for my partner but it's worked out to be a little too small. Would say that it would suit anyone from 5' to 5'6". Top tube measurement centre to centre is 56.5 cm (so around 22 inches). From what I can tell it has been stored in a garage for the last 25 years, all parts look original, and the previous seller informed me that it had had new cables and a once over from a bike shop in the last year or so. Here's a nice bit of spiel from the 1994 Dawes catalogue:
"One of the lightest bikes in its class, Hardware's spec is as well-balanced as its ride, offering a host of advanced Shimano functions at an entry-level price. The shifting performance is light and precise, and the M-System brakes deliver dependable stopping power whatever the weather conditions - features designed to put you, the rider, in complete control when the going gets tough."
