Sizing & Fit

North Sports lists 17-inch and 19-inch frame variants, with a common 26-inch wheel format. Dawes does not publish a sufficiently clear model-specific rider-height table on the product page to justify fixed height promises. Choose according to inseam, safe standover clearance, reach to the bars and comfortable control of the brakes; confirm size with North Sports if you are between frames. Basket clearance and riding posture should be checked on the selected size.

Delivery & Assembly

The current North Sports product page shows an estimated 2–4-week delivery period, but recorded stock is not positive and this is not a confirmed dispatch date. We will confirm supplier availability, selected colour and frame size before providing a firm estimate. Delivery dates and the availability of your selected option must be confirmed with North Sports before purchase. Standard manufacturer-direct boxed pedal bikes are generally supplied partially assembled, so competent final assembly, a mechanical safety inspection, and adjustments may be required. Check wheels, brakes, steering, gears and fasteners before the first ride. Please contact us before ordering if you require a fully assembled or professionally checked bicycle. Do not assume a separate assembly service is included unless it is specifically confirmed for your order.

Rattan-style front basket provides useful space for light everyday essentials

A Shimano seven-speed drivetrain gives useful gearing for town cycling and moderate inclines, while alloy V-brakes and full steel mudguards provide familiar, straightforward control.
