Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Dawes Duchess 700c Heritage Bike in Metallic Slate

Season:2022

Brand:Dawes

Code:3461MET

The Duchess has been leading the way in heritage style, comfortable bikes for several years now.

This new version has been upgraded to include a colour coded rear carrier, and double basket. Why do I need two baskets I hear you say? When you stop off at your local shop and want to remove your normal basket fitted to your handlebars, you need to unclip it from a mounting bracket. Not very elegant at all. With Dawes' new double basket design, the steel basket stays securely on the bike at all times, and the stylish rattan basket with carry handle slips out of it's holder with ease, allowing you to quickly, easily and elegantly use it for your shopping, then just drop it back in place. Lovely. Mix with that the new metallic paint job and reliable Shimano gearing and you have the perfect recipe for a smooth ride.
