They were made in the midlands in the Uk, Darlaston I think ?
They were cheap on par with Apollo's, I paid seventy pounds for one new to commute to work it lasted 3 months then fell apart. After advice from a cyclist friend I went to a LBS and bought a used Marin Team £300 I used it for 5years great bike
You still see Hawks on car boots for 99p to 15 pounds
