swapped my turbo trainer for a bike and made the misses cry

Bet the wife is looking forward to riding this once built

I always ask the misses if the're any jobs she wants me to do while she's away at work Dawes Galaxy was the first 2 items on the list then again half way down I think she's keen to get out on it she even ordered a set of pannies for it :shock:

That's a tidy looking mixte. I think it'll come up nice after your TLC.

I think it has cheers

So after a long night finished just after 1 this morning :facepalm: the Dawes is ready for when Ms Bling gets home from work (she works away from home) I think/hope she is pleasantly surprised

Not sure what to do with the rack it needs something but not sure what


Components have come up well considering the amount of crud on them


have left the bar tape for the time being will do that when I look at other bits i.e front mudguard, tyre and rack


and there you have it Ms ordered some panniers for it so that would cover the rack :?

maybe a divorce..
