The Kingpin is the longstanding, best selling folding bike in the Dawes range. This year it has been given a makeover with our all new alloy folding frame and some subtle upgrades of components such as Rapidfire shifters and Shimano cassette. The alloy frame now includes reflective decals perfect for cycling in cities or busy roads, and theres a quick release handlebar and telescopic handlepost to ensure you can find the perfect riding position. All this is finished off with a 7 speed Shimano drive train, strong double wall alloy rims, Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres with puncture protection, kickstand and mudguards. You can rest assured that your ride will be fast and smooth. Dimensions when folded, approx: 860 x 660 x 350mm

I recently took my dated and tired old racing bike along to Leeli Cycles for some much needed work. I was cheerfully greeted by Ben the very friendly owner and number one mechanic. He suggested a full service and looked over the bike to access the condition of the other cycle components. A very comprehensive quote was later emailed to me listing all the parts that Ben would require to complete the job. He phoned me as soon as my bike was ready and I hurried along to pick it up. My first reaction was, wow! It looked as good as new and fully roadworthy again. Ben had done an incredible job in transforming my old racer back to its former glory! I'm very pleased to have used Leeli Cycles along with Ben's wealth of mechanical knowledge, sound advice and attention to detail. Even happier still to support this amazing small local business offering great value and excellent customer service. An outstanding shop in every way for all your cycling needs with the personal touch. Pop in and see for yourself. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.
