Re:
If anyone is interested - here the weights of all my 18" Dawes frames without forks:
1991'er Dawes "Rough Trade": lugged Reynolds 501 Magnum --> 2,8 Kg
1992'er Dawes "The Edge": lugged Reynolds 531 Magnum -->2,5 Kg
1993'er Dawes "The Edge": fillet-brazed Reynolds 653 Custom --> 2,2 Kg...
I've found two others ...
... but all decals are from the 1992 "Edge" and "Edge eXTRa"-models, at the wrong place and clear coat overpainted (the lower two pics).
I've got it - it's a "Rough Trade" from about 1991 with Reynolds 501 Magnum Cr.-Mo. frame (seat- / top- and down-tube only)...
Re: 1992 Dawes The Edge eXTRa
Yes, for sure.
The Dawes fillet brazing method was not so smooth like Roberts, Yates and ... but more than good enough for me and a hard ride.
It's the first complete fillet brazed MTB frame from Dawes.
1992 Dawes The Edge eXTRa
One more Dawes?
The one and only Dawes "The Edge eXTRa" from 1992 - Reynols 531 Designer Select and mixed with a M900 / M910 group.
Pimped with a rare Reynolds 753 handlebar.
Your "Special" is 18" - the "unknown" is 20" (seems to me).
@ marge602: What Seatpost-Diameter fit them?
@ drcarlos: Any Pictures? The RockShox Mag was only an option - normally they came out with the GeoMax-forkes (Reynolds 531).
