Larry, MANY thanks for these.

It's interesting to see Dawes providing such complete specs, including frame angles, for their machines in the c. 1964 catalogue. So many catalogues including the notorious Raleigh US market one for 1969 just sai d "the Raleigh Professional is a swell bike that's real fast".

This latest catalogue also answers the question that Dawes were limited hu b gears to what they had reverted to by 1964: your basic SA AW three-speed "Sports" models. We had a Dawes catalogue from 1949 on the old Roll Britannia site and they were fitting Cyclo-Benelux derailleurs to all of their club/racing machines even back then.

Thanks again.
