Never heard of Dawley Bikes, but I really like that! A steel full suss with a water bottle cage in the correct place!* EDC tool is handy to have too.
*I know there are others like Reeb, Sour...
Not yet seen the T16 but I've seen Thom out with a couple of his other creations. They are all absolutely stunning looking bikes.
Well happy with my Dawley Rallye, 27.5 hard tail. Thom was great to work with during the process and accommodated my slight changes to geo. I'm 5'7" so decided to go for the smaller wheels and I run it now with 130mm travel on the forks.
I might be tempted by the T16 if funds become available........

Now that is a damn fine-looking bicycle...off to check the back of the sofa! Wonder how much that full bike cost (gritted teeth emoji)
£1800 for a frame (without shock), going by the website - not that I've looked, lusted and had a quick calculation of feasibility.
Very tempted.
Very nice, talked a lot at the show about it.
You should also look at the high pivot version on his Insta feed.
Such a good looking bike.
That is a fantastic looking bike. Has the hardtail silhouette which is always a plus point for me.
Would this be suitable for bullseye-ing womp rats?

Nice.

My God, you shoot small animals for fun? That's the first indicator of a serial killer, you freak
edit: lovely bike
The more I look at it the more I think it has overtaken the Swarf Contour as my favourite looking full suspension frame. If I had the money I’d get one.
That is a lovely looking bike. It's not often (if ever) I'll see one and my first thought is "ooh, I want one of those" but this is definitely one of those times.
I'm going to be checking down the back of the sofa, too...
That's definitely the nicest looking steel full suspension bike I can recall seeing and one of the nicest made of any material
