hi just wondering if any of you wonderful people can help me date this bike. not the best frame but looks the part and good fun in its current single speed guise. no idea if its 70's or 80's though?

any advice would be appreciated.

Many Dawes models during the late 1970s through early 1980s had Supertube construction.

There's no mention of a 'Lightning' in any of the 70's and early 80's catalogues (about 4) that I've just had a flick through.

if the decals and headbadge havent been changed, that could be as late as 1986

the Weinmann brakes will have a date stamp behind them.

the lightening was around in the 70's and 80's. I remember a kid in the late 70's having a purple one.
the headbadge and transfer font would suggest early 80's onwards (not sure how much onwards - i sorta lost interest when I started buying colnagos)

any idea when this might have been made?
