Dawes Linear 653

  • Dawes Linear 653 (approx 1993 model)

    Believe the geo is 56cm x 56cm but I will confirm. It fits me perfectly at 5'11ish but there is scope for adjustment either way. I will include a shorter quill stem in case the buyer wants to adjust the reach.

    Spec:
    Reynolds 653 steel tubing
    10sp Dura Ace downtube shifters
    105 rear derailleur
    Original Shimano 600 brakes and crankset
    Campagnolo Khamsin wheels (inc worn but still serviceable Michelin tyres)

    Includes bottle cages and saddle but not pedals

    Lovely bike and too nice to use as a commuter so selling it for something more basic. I honestly enjoy riding this bike more than my carbon one.

    Has a couple of minor rust spots and some rubbing to the inner left seatstay which occurred before I replaced the dropout alignment screws. All OK now.

    I'm after £350 for it and can provide pictures as needed. Based Manchester but travel from time to time. Not willing to post due to size/weight. This is NOT my bike, but it is the same paint scheme: https://www.flickr.com/photos/60734120@N02/sets/72157631369215052/

  • Hi, I'm interested.
    Can you confirm the size (center to center)?
    Also some pics of YOUR bike :)
    Thanks

  • No problem, I will post some measurements and pictures this evening. :)

  • Apologies for delay, pictures are here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskH7XK9S

    Geo is as I thought. 56cm top tube and 56cm BB to seat tube junction.

  • Oh, was looking for STI shifters, yours doesn't have. Too bad :(
    Thanks!

  • Price drop £325

  • This is on eBay now at £300, so I'd take £275 for it here.
