Retro Guru
I'm a new member on here. This will be my third bike build of recent times. First was a rattle can rebuild of my 1979 Raleigh dragged out of my parents' shed, second was a new build winter bike (Planet X Kaffenback, steel of course). This time it is my other half's 1988 Dawes Lady Galaxy, a bike that she loves to ride, not for touring but just to get out on. We picked it up off t'ebay a couple of years ago for £70 and not done much work on it except keeping it roadworthy. The paintwork was in a shocking state so it had to get a respray.
Well it was dispatched to Bob Jackson's in Leeds last month and I've just picked it up and got it home. I am well pleased with the metallic cobalt blue paint job, I only hope I can get the rest of it looking nearly as good.
Hopefully by documenting my build here, the 'retro gurus' will keep me right, and maybe someone else will be inspired to have a go.
