Dawes lugged steel bicycle drawing

After I broke my Panasonic frame I limped it over to Bikes Not Bombs in Jamaica Plain. They carry a pretty large assortment of used frames and I was hopeful. As soon as I saw the bright yellow Dawes frame with chrome seat stays and fork I was sold. It also had a beautiful headbadge. I bought the frame, put it over my shoulder and road home on my broken, sagging Panasonic frame.
