[ebay.co.uk]Dawes Fat Chance

Dawes Nostalga

This was my first mountain bike.!!.

Harking after memories Im seriously tempted, but it just looks really neglected and to much work :(
 
excuse my ignorance, but is there a connection between the "Fat chance" mtb people and Dawes, at around this time 1984 i used to climb over the fence of the dawes factory from the cut (canal)when they were based in speedwell road Birmingham,climb onto the roof and do a stunt man jump into a load of frame boxes we had piled up for the very purpose, oh happy days :lol: :lol:

we also used to find lots of bikes bits about, lots of them strumey archer 3 speed shifters i seem to remember, though hadnt a clue in them days what they were, as i would have been on my raleigh blazer or burner and gears were for old people 8) 8)
