2 Dawes kingpin folding Bikes

This pair of Dawes Kingpin folding bikes are practical, unisex machines built for everyday urban riding and commuting. Both are in good condition for their age and fully working, ready to use straight away. The folding frame is the key to their appeal—compact enough to store in a flat, car boot, or to carry onto a train when you need to mix cycling with public transport. Each bike weighs a manageable amount and folds down to a size that doesn't dominate your living space or hallway.

The build is straightforward and honest. Both bikes use 20-inch steel frames with mechanical rim brakes, which are reliable and easy to maintain. The 3-speed hub gear handles typical urban riding without fuss, keeping shifting simple and the drivetrain durable. Mudguards come fitted as standard, so you stay relatively clean when riding through wet streets, and each bike has a luggage rack for carrying shopping, a messenger bag, or a small rucksack. The saddle is genuinely comfortable for shorter rides around town—not a thin racing saddle, but something that lets you sit upright without discomfort during a commute or a trip to the shops.

Day to day, these Kingpins work well for the stop-start rhythm of urban cycling. The 20-inch wheels make them nimble in traffic and quick to manoeuvre through congestion, though they do demand a bit more pedal input than larger wheels on longer flat stretches. The upright riding position gives good visibility, and the folding mechanism becomes intuitive after a few attempts. These bikes suit anyone who needs reliable, no-fuss transport that doesn't take up much space when parked or stored. They're the kind of bike you don't overthink—just ride. Collection from Chester.
