Re:
Lovely job, that blue looks awesome!
I suspect that acgowers one may well have been metallic red,if it's early 80s the original Dawes paint didn't last well and would have had Weinman centre pulls badged as Dawes with plate straddle fittings, the rear had a roller on the saddle clamp to aid cable lines.My Mother has one which my wife rode at Eroica last year I'll try to find a picture.
