Finally replaced the wobbly cottered cranks on the Dawes with an old road crankset and new 110mm BB from Cavendish, it's now awesomely fun to ride and perfectly doable to do 10 miles on, especially when the gearing is almost perfect at 50/18, the original gearing was way too spinny at 46/18.
the paint is slowly peeling off revealling a maroon colour undercoat, can't tell whether that's the original coat for the Dawes though.
