Dawes says
The Silkstone is the Perfect All-Terrain Mountain Bike ideal for Weekend Rides and those who don't want to spend a fortune on a Bike. For under 300, you get a Strong, Lightweight Alloy Frame with Sports Geometry and SunTour 80mm Travel Forks for tackling all types of Terrain. It features 24-Speed Shimano Acera Gearing, TruVativ IsoFlow Cranks and Tektro Mechanical Disc Brakes so is Excellent Value. The Ladies version of this bike has the same Geometry Frame and comes in 15" and 17" sizes, so it might be ideal for you if find a 16" Bike too Tall or are in-between the 16" and 18" sizes. The only other difference is the Colour, which is a really nice Metallic Blue.
