Listed 17 weeks ago .... I'd be surprised if it hasn't sold yet, but if not and someone was willing to post, I would be very interested!

Go for it KoF, it's still for sale, I just got a response from the seller

hopefully it hasn't been sat in the garden ever since....

I probably don't even need anyone to post it, actually. If someone could collect it and hold onto it I could pick it up from them sometime. I've wanted a fillet-brazed Dawes for a long time.

Can anyone help with ID? As I remember, 1992 was the first year they used fillet-brazing, but only for the Edge XTRA and the decals look a newer style. However, from 1993 when they fillet-brazed more of the range I thought they switched to 653 and 501 ....... any ideas?

Similar '531 custom' decal as this '95 Edge: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1995-dawes-edge-xt-frameset-sold.396639/

it's pre-94 because for 94 and 95 they were 653 rather than 531, also from 94 they were ahead rather than threaded
