I posted an earlier question about the Dawes MTA and didn't get much feedback. I agree, the components are junk, but if you're looking for an inexpensive single speed, then this is about as cheap as it gets new out of the box. While personally I'm fine with the brakes, BMX crankset and cable stays, I want to know a little bit more about the frame itself. Is it the same as the other Dawes frames? Is it considerably heavier than the SST or Windsor the Hour frame? I give them credit for putting the decals over the clear coat for once. Also, I see that Mike mentioned bikesdirect would be carrying this model but so far I've only seen it on ebay. Anyone out there ridden one? Anyone know when bikesdirect will have it listed on its website?
