Dawes Classic Heritage Bike 26 Inch Wheel, Low-Step Steel Frame with Basket in 2 Frame Sizes

Dawes Classic Heritage Bike 26 Inch Wheel, Low-Step Steel Frame with Basket in 2 Frame Sizes

The Dawes Classic is a 26 inch heritage bike for riders who want a comfortable, upright ride to the shops, the park or the office without swinging a leg over a high crossbar. Its classic Dutch design is easy to mount and dismount, a rattan front basket carries everyday essentials, and Shimano Tourney gearing gives six speeds for gentle hills. Choose a 17 inch or 19 inch hi-tensile steel frame.

Old-School Looks, Sensible Engineering

Plenty of retro-styled bikes are all paint and no practicality, leaving you with oily trouser hems and nowhere to put the shopping. Dawes redesigned the Classic to bring the elegance of its more premium Duchess models to a lower price. A hi-tensile steel heritage frame gives a reassuring, stable ride, while the fitted chainguard helps keep you and the bike clean. A Shimano Tourney RD-TY300 rear derailleur and Shimano thumbshifter manage six speeds, and V-brakes front and rear with alloy levers deliver dependable stopping on wet town streets.

Details That Make Every Ride Easier

• Classic Dutch frame: comfortable upright position and easy dismount, ideal for short trips with frequent stops.
• Shimano Tourney 6-speed: thumbshifter lets you drop into an easier gear for hills and back up for flat paths.
• Rattan front basket: quality basket carries a loaf, a flask or a light bag for errands and picnics.
• Comfort touch points: Dawes Comfort saddle with matching brown saddle and grips for relaxed, stylish riding.

FAQs

Q: Is the bike sturdy enough for daily riding?

A: The Classic is built on a hi-tensile steel heritage frame with 36H nutted hubs and 26 x 1.75 inch tyres, a sturdy combination for regular town riding. Keep the chain lubricated and tyres inflated to the pressure on the sidewall for the smoothest ride.

Q: Does it need assembling and what gears does it have?

A: The bike arrives approximately 85% assembled, so some final assembly is required. It uses a Shimano Tourney RD-TY300 rear derailleur with a 6-speed Shimano thumbshifter, giving enough range for relaxed riding and gentle hills.

Q: How soon will my bike be delivered?

A: We deliver to mainland UK addresses (with tracking). Delivery options, costs and estimated times are shown at checkout and in our Shipping Policy.
