I thought a Dawes Edge was a singlespeed?

Not back then. The name dates back to at least 1987/88. It was their top of the range full XT bike. It was the only one in the range that had QR wheels too. My second from the top Wildcat had bolt on wheels.

It might say Dawes! All I can tell is that it has the right number of characters.

Could also be a Raleigh with that seat tube layout.

Good idea. Done that and am pretty sure I can make out 'Dawes'. If I try really hard, I'm sure I can remember a tatty dark purple paint job possibly with a fade? The tubes 'ping' nicely and look like they date back to the "Let's oversize everything" phase of mountain bike history in the early 90s. Headset is 1.125"
