Subject: [CR] Dawes Question


There was a lengthy and interesting Dawes discussion on the CR List about this time last year. I don't remember what was said about the top of the Dawes line. There were many fond memories expressed of a no-nonsense brand for the middle-class consumer. Apparently Dawes hit their stride in matching British components manufacturing capability with demand for solid quality bikes at affordable prices. I don't think they ever made it their goal to compete at the highest levels, with the super-bikes of the day.
