Readers Ride of the Week
Week #11 Winner
This weeks winner is something a bit different. We’ve chosen this Dawes Accent from 1989. This retro mountain bike build isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea and I’m sure the components and geometry make for an interesting ride but at the end of the day we love bikes and all bikes make us happy.
I feel this is proof that money doesn’t buy you skill rode this bad boy at head down n caught up with a guy on a 6k ebike. Also brilliant for helping fitness and improving line choice I feel overall faster and have been getting more pb’s on my trek after riding this thing…. Everyone needs one to realise how good modern bikes are.
