I did consider an easier route but this bike fell into my lap and it got me interested so i'll see how far i can get, although 57Hawkes i do see your point.
Fair enough. Neglected 70's - 90's racers on ebay often go for about 50 quid and yield many good parts. Here's a Dawes I bought this week (another bad listing) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mens-racing-bike-/121231197004?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=YvZxVOwmEaGdpe6tE%252FC%252FVe6cdrg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_139wt_1170
What you don't use you can sell / swap or give away.
