Dawes says
The Discovery Twin uses the same frame geometry as the Double Edge and is a great for leisurely days out. Equipped with quality components such as the Shimano Acera 24 speed EZ-Fire gears, Truvativ Firex Gigapipe cranks and 48 spoke double wall wheels. With an adjustable stem front and rear as well as a pair of Dawes comfort saddles you can rely on the Discovery Twin for both quality and comfort.
