i just happened to be at the local tip today and as usual decided to check out the scrap metal pile,(u never know do you), as usual nothing but cheap rubbish but hiding under an old fridge there she was,something i would not usually look twice at,a "Dawes finesse"ladies bike,5 speed with white simplex alpha rear derailuer, weinman sidepull,s , sticker saying reynolds 500 cro-mo tubing also a iscaselle seat and stem , the bars are engraved with swirls and has made in england engraved on them also, i have no idea why but i brought it home (dunno why) now i,m not looking 4 a pat on the back but, have i got a good one ???? i dont know a thing about them ,any advice and info would be much appreciated ! thanx guys !!!

Most people will say that anything built in England is a good bike. I would clean it up for my wife or daughter. It is really flat where I live, so five speeds is plenty.
