ive found a review on one and judging by this review it seems like a great bike.

review:

The Dawes Jack is a great entry level folding for the trusted name. It has a 6 speed dérailleur gears, solid dependable v brakes, mudguards and rack all fitted as standard on an aluminum frame. This models is quite an exceptional value for money. The Dawes jack is an exceptionally good value folding bicycle. The 6 speed dérailleur gears are simple and very easy to operate. The standard accessories of this mode include the rear carrier rack and mudguards for every day practicality, a folding pedal to decrease the folded size and an adjustable handlebar stem to allow you to adjust the bar height to suit the rider. Dawes Jack is a solid reliable folding bike perfect for your needs.

Very dependable bike. Not lightweight but solid and nice ride.

Stop apologising the forums are for beginners and experts alike re. any topic of folding bikes.

The Dawes is not a cheap low-end model but decent mid-range quality.

Are you looking at a 2nd hand Dawes Jack of the one new ranging form £255-300 from various retailers?
