Sizing | Specs

Introducing the New 2008 Dawes Lightning Tour
Handbuilt advanced engineered and lightweight Altair 1 aluminum compact frame. Shimano 2200 has 24 speeds, gives you some of the cutting edge tech of the top of the line Ultegra and Dura Ace without the budget biting price.

Versatile Comfort and Performance
The Dawes Lightning Tour is a flat bar, cafe style road bike. It can be set up for a comfortable upright position. Want to get more serious? Turn a few bolts and you have a lower position and a more competitive racing machine while still having the low gears you need to flatten most any hill or mountain pass and headwind.
