Dawes says
The Sportif range is designed especially for Sportif or Audax riders. The geometry is just a little more upright and shorter than our standard road bikes and with frame materials specifically chosen for added comfort for longer hours in the saddle. The Comp features a Reynolds 520 chromoly frame and double butted chromoly forks. Fitted with top drawer brands with the Shimano Sora 18 speed compact gearset, Alex DA22 double wall rims and Selle Italia XO saddle. Stopping power is supplied by the Tektro dual pivot caliper brakes and finished with Schwalbe tyres. A great bike for a great day out.
