1985 Dawes Kingpin refurbished.

I set about refurbishing the Dawes Kingpin last week, a complete strip down, clean and polish of all the components, wheel bearings replaced after a degreasing the hubs and bearing races, the same with the bottom bracket and the headset. 

The only big spend was on new tyres, I went with the plain black because they are cheaper than the white wall tyres. I reused  the rim tapes and inner tubes as there was nothing wrong with them. 

Total spent on this bike was about £22.00. 

I might at some time change the cables but they’ll do for now. 




I sold this bike in 2022
