Is this a Dawes?
I was on my way to pick up a $25 Raleigh Sport off CL and I stopped at this yard sale and picked up this crusty old beach bomber for $2 and I'm thinking "Maybe I have a bike problem". Then I got to this guy's house and he had HUNDREDS of bikes. The garage was packed, the yard was packed, there were parts in every corner.
Well we chatted a while and I gave him the $25 and took my Sport and on the way out I spotted this frame and got that warm fuzzy feeling, so I traded the Ross clunker for this pretty green thing. He says he's sure he has the fork and he'll give it to me as soon as he finds it. Maybe it's with the parts in the attic.
Any way, lets get to the pics. Nice lugs, wrap around seat stays, stamped dropouts, TDC cottered BB. Serial number A63550.Only 2 rivet holes for the headbadge, 2 3/16" apart.
