I bought this on the forum as an around-town bike when I first moved here. I changed out the tyres and tubes, break cables and housing, and put on new handlebars and a stem. It has been stored inside, outside was just the easiest place to get the photos.

I've now upgraded to a nicer bike so want to part with this. The price is low because I did a slightly goofy job on the front breaks when I changed the stem and handlebars (see pic), and the saddle is a bit torn. It should probably be fixed at some point but has honestly been fine the last 6 months so maybe it's ok.

All in all a functional around town bike for cheap! Collection from Dartmouth Park N19.

Here's the info via the original person I bought it from:

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.

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.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
