In my last blog I wrote about my Dawes Debonair which I had just started doing some test miles on .
Well I am happy to report that in total last week I covered a total of 103 miles on it .
And I can honestly say it rode very well and on the 33 mile Saturday am ride it was actually averaging a higher speed than many of my more exotic rides without making me work any harder than usual . I don’t ride for the pure speed I ride to enjoy and watch the scenery and building’s I ride past en route .
The only thing that let it down was that I had forgotten to fit one of my Selle Smp saddle’s this mistake has now been rectified .
My intention is to use this as my winter road bike unless it sells beforehand .

It’s hard to beat a well built mid 60s bike. Oldies & goodies!
Cheers,
I think you are correct especially when it’s powered by a 60’s rider as well
