Dawes Bicycles are a British cycle maker with over 100 years of experience in manufacturing bikes. Dawes also offers a fairly decent range of Dawes Road Cycles.
The Dawes Bicycle Company was founded in Birmingham, UK 1906 when Charles Dawes went into business in partnership with a cycle company originally called Humphries & Dawes. The Humphries side of the business continued making motorcycles while Dawes concentrated on Road Bicycles for the Racing Cycle market. By 1926 Dawes Cycles Ltd had been formed and concentrated solely on the production of Cycles.
Dawes Cycles are famed for their quality being built by hand by an extremely skilled workforce. One of the Dawes Cycles early successes in the Cycle Market was the Dawes Galaxy, a Road Bike built for Touring and still made today. And the Dawes Super Galaxy. The current Dawes range of Road Cycles includes the Dawes Giro range with the Giro 200, Giro 300, Giro 400 and Giro 500 all offering slightly differing specs to cater for a wide range of pockets. Current top of the range is the Dawes Giro 500 the frame being built from double butted alloy 6061 with carbon stays and an Alloy Steerer with carbon blades. The finishing kit for the Giro models is all of good quality. From the Dawes Sportif range comes the Sportif Ultra Ti with a similar price tag to the Giro 500 the Sportif Ti is made as the name would suggest from hi tech Titanium and built for comfort with a low weight and Sportif/Audax geometry the ride characteristics of the Sportif 3AI/2.5V are fantastic and give comfort that only titanium frames can give- rigid, and comfortable with carbon forks, Shimano Ultegra compact gear set and WH-RS20 wheels.
Dawes also makes Touring Road Bikes for which they are famed. If your looking for a hand made quality cycle with a long tradition for comfort and service then Road Cycles are a great way into the sport of Road cycling.

Does anyone know where I can buy new jockey wheels for my Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur?
from here

But often I have found it is almost as cheap to buy an new derailleur than the 2 jockey wheels.
