Dawes Kingpin

I’d rather have this one, currently in the low 30s it’s an early bike, 1966 ish with the coveted and increasingly harder to find dash-dot-dash chain guard, front Dynohub ( especially if it works) and the ribbed mudguards. I think the grips have been replaced, also curiously, the brake levers are not the red dot levers, but the levers usually seen on later bikes.

It also has the earlier pressed cups and cast front dropouts as opposed to the later pressed steel dropouts. The rubber brake sleeves down by the callipers seem to be intact too.

@biggs682 - they're small enough to fit anywhere

I think that front wheel /fork needs turning 360 degrees then the front brake might release

I'll post this in the correct place as well.
