Recently I've picked up an 853 Rock lobster for £50, a 631 Dawes Sardar for just over and the other day a 631 Dawes One Down f&f for free. I'm guessing steel ain't real for some anymore!

I believe this may have the same ding! Thats a rather random verse to have on the top tube, glad I can't read mine now! Here's my fork sticker the same as yours. I post I found on another forum suggested mine might be the earlier model in silver without the fork mounts.

By golly, I think you've got it 👌 I've just been out and checked, it is a 26" wheeled frame, not 700c! I think it's identical to yours except the colour obviously, same seat clamp, top tube cable guides etc, etc, the only difference I can note it that my forks haven't got low rider rack...

Just picked this up today, but I can't work out what it is. Dawes 631 frame, 700c, V brake mount (no canti stop), 1 1/8" ahead but fork could be a replacement, down tube shifter mounts, chain pip, vertical drop outs, rear brake cable runs on top of the top tube, integrated seat collar and ring...

Looking through my Dawes catalogues you're right, it's a '93, the same as my Galaxy, that was the year they changed to the internal rear brake cable, and the outlined graphics,' 94 went to solid block graphics. The frame looks exactly the same as my galaxy and I run 40c g-one tyres on it with...

Looks like a '95 galaxy with a unicrown fork on. And, the seatpost is in back to front!

It's something that ebay are experimenting with, read about it the other day, although not on bike sales. https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/bidding/bidding?id=4003

Could I have the Marin stem please? Thanks Rob

@idrisrugby, yes, I looked at yours when I picked this one up - one thing I have noticed is that yours is a 27.00mm seatpost, and this is a 27.2mm post, had a couple of different posts in to confirm 🤔

Already got travel agents on, it's got drop bar v-brake compatible levers factory fitted, but I really wasn't impressed, so dropped a pair of travel agents on and they are now suberb 👌

First proper ride on this mornings commute, fits lovely, rides nicely, shifts perfectly, although I did manage to get the left shifter stuck up my shorts leg crossing the railtracks! Only thing I've found is that after riding my gravel bike almost exclusively since lockdown, it feels way...

A little gravel, nothing too silly

Yeah, really wasn't impressed with the tyres! What do you recommend?

Picked this up the other local on ebay, knew nothing about it, and to be honest, not many people seam too! It's a 26" wheeled, drop bar touring bike. Wasn't in good shape when I picked it up, but a clean up, Aliexpress high-rise stem, Richley riser bars, spoon charge saddle, new chain...

Frame no is B00070076. Anyone know how to decode it? Don't think it's a 2007, certainly not a '97 so???
