Introducing the New 2014 Dawes Lightning 1200 with Carbon Fork
Handbuilt advanced engineered and lightweight Altair 1 aluminum compact frame. Shimano Sora/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. Click for Image Gallery

Performance: The Carbon Fork is a high performance item that is normally only found on bikes starting at $900.

Safety: Two pairs of brake levers means you can stop your bike from almost anywhere on the handlebars.

Comfort: Dawes Lightning 1200 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 competitive racing machine while still having the low gears you need to flatten most any hill or mountain pass and headwind.

Versatile: Attach your own rear rack to the Lightning 1200's rear eyelets and grab your groceries while saving on gas
