Dawes Cycles 1992 Touring/Tandem & Mountain/Street Brochures fold out type

These are a pair of original Dawes Cycles brochures from 1992, featuring their Touring/Tandem and Mountain/Street ranges. Dawes has long been known for their folding bikes and compact frame designs, and these catalogues capture the brand's offering from three decades ago. The fold-out format means you get a decent amount of product information and imagery spread across the pages, typical of how bike manufacturers presented their ranges before digital catalogues became standard.

The colours in both brochures are bright and vibrant, though ambient light can make them photograph less vividly than they appear in person. The Touring/Tandem brochure has a couple of splits along the fold edges, but it's still holding together well structurally. Both copies show some shelf marks around the edges, which is entirely normal for paper items that are now 34 years old. The Mountain/Street copy carries a dealer stamp, which adds to its character as a working sales item from the time. These have been stored dry in a smoke-free home, so condition is better than you'd typically expect for brochures of this age.

If you're interested in Dawes' product history, or collecting vintage cycling catalogues, these give a genuine snapshot of what the brand was producing in the early 1990s. There are other 1992 and 1989 Dawes catalogues available separately if you're building a collection from that era.
