Dawes Mono singlespeed or fixed gear bike for sale in wonderful condition.
I have taken every bad stock part off this bike and upgraded. It has a flip flop hub so can be run singlespeed or as fixed gear. I have had it set up with just a front brake and fixed at the back, but as you can see from the photos, I have recabled the rear brake and will provide the rear brake for whoever buys so you can run the bike as you like.
I have replaced the headset with an incredibly smooth red Hope headset. The stem has been upgraded to a Raceface lightweight model and the bars are FSA race bars. Tyres have been upgraded to Continental Gatorskins. Saddle is a Boardman Race and the Seatpost is a Ritchey Pro model. Pedals are shimano spds. (Can throw in some dhb 10.5 shoes with cleats too if you fancy).
The Reynolds 520 chromoly frame is lightweight but extremely stiff, accelerates brilliantly and extremely responsive, complimented by the carbon forks.
This is a wonderful commuting/city or singlespeed touring bike with some cracking parts on it. Mudguards can easily be removed.
I'm about 6 foot/6"1 with 32" inside leg - fits me perfectly as set up. As you can see there is plenty of room for adjustment either way.
Looking for £400 (these retail at nearly £700 and I have upgraded a lot of parts) but certainly open to sensible offers so do send me a message. The bike is well used but has been regularly cleaned and serviced. Only reason for sale is to buy a tt bike and I have too many bikes at home already!
