Thanks Ryan! I actually painted the frame myself. Charlie - it's a Dawes Ranger from 1984, repainted and rebuilt by me. It was the first commercially produced mountain bike in the UK to my knowledge. Handbuilt at the Dawes factory! It's essentially a very stretched out Galaxy, extraordinarily long wheelbase and the most amount of tire clearance I've ever seen on a vintage frame - making it the perfect candidate for a "British Rivendell" build.
