Fancied building this style of bike after seeing a few scattered about on the net and when this Dawes 531 Custom Hybrid bike came along I decided it would be perfect for such a project.
As mentioned in the title it has pretty much all new components mostly selected for their retro look.
I do believe the fram is a 54cm but need to check that to be sure.
I'm looking for £650, it owes me more so not really any movement on the price and it fits me so if I don't sell it then it's not the end of the world....
Postage is available for £30 or collection from Kent ME11 is of course very welcome.
