Dawes Lightning 1500: Quality At A Lower Price

By Mark Belmont


There are so many different brands and models of bike to choose from that it can be difficult to know which one is the best fit. There is also price to consider, as some bikes can cost nearly as much as a new car. The Dawes Lightning 1500 is a versatile bicycle that is much more affordable than many of its competitors, which makes it a good choice for those who want quality for less.

Dawes Bikes USA is not the same as the famed manufacturer in England. Instead the USA brand licensed the name so that they could make clones of the English brand. These are not the same as their English competitors, but they do use quality parts from well known brands, so it is still a good quality bike, which is usually priced less than its competitors.

This bike is a good entry level bicycle because it is not top of the line expensive, is still a quality product. This bicycle is great for people who are training for triathlons or who just want a good ride. In addition the bike can be converted into something that could be used in competition with just some minor adjustments.

One downfall to the bike is that it is a bit heavy due to its aluminum frame. Even though it is not most lightweight, the aluminum frame ensures that it will be a reliable and sturdy bike that is not going to fall apart. It also uses Shimano and Tiagra parts for the speed shifters and derailleurs, which are the same quality brands usually found on more expensive bicycles.

This models prides itself on its versatility and can be used by just about anyone, regardless of size. They makes a super small model that is twenty eight inches for people who are a bit shorter, while the extra large thirty five incher can be used by those over six feet. Since the seat stem can also be easily adjusted it should be possible for just about anyone to find a size that works.

It has a few features usually reserved for bikes that cost a lot more. One such feature would be the carbon fiber forks, which is a high end accessory usually only found on high priced models. Dawes also makes bikes with one hundred percent carbon frames, such as their 5000 series, which should be considered for more serious riders, who are willing to spend more.

When it comes to quality for the price the Dawes Lightning 1500 is a good bargain. Since it uses quality parts it should hold up to the rigors of the road just as well as more expensive bikes. This makes it a model people should consider when they are beginning their career.
