My Dawes Fireball project has had the original steel pedals and unbranded chainset replace with A Stronglight set and Lyotard 82 pedals. Unfortunately one of the pedal dust caps is missing. The previous owner appears to have used plasters as a solution. Does anyone know if something like MTK...

Another shonky Dawes. This time in my size. It's been sat in a garden so should be fun.

1981/2 Dawes Galaxy large 60cm frame and forks. Reynolds 531 tubes. Reconditioned bottom bracket and headset. Some small dents in the seat tube due to over enthusiastic removal of a stuck seatpost. Needs paint or leave ratty. £40 plus post and packing or collect from Southampton.

This is possibly a really dumb question. I started bolting the Galaxy parts onto my Clements Frameset. All was going well until I got to the back of the bike. The Dawes has Weinmann Vainqueur 610 and 750 centre pull brakes. The front is fine but the rear brake bridge seems closer to the...

As mentioned I've got this 53cm Clements 531 frame. The plan is to swap the parts over from my Galaxy which at 60cm is way too big. Plus some possible upgrades. The frame is with my local bike repairers have a stubborn BB cup removed because I don't have the right tool. I've discovered the BB...

Picked this up today. The plan is to swap the group set over from my Galaxy which is too big. Anybody have an idea of age or model? I'm guessing 1980's? Not sure if the paint's saveable and clements decals might be a problem. Any information welcome.

Chrome a bit pitted but cleaned up well. I'll give them a couple more weeks then they will be going into the skip

I saw online Ford Chestnut Brown was a good match for 1980s Dawes Dark Brown metallic. As you can see it isn't, it's too red. Anyone know the correct colour?

German Heidemann 22" frame and forks. I bought it for the wheels and a couple of other bits. Seems a shame to take it down the tip. Would make a good Hipster single speed, fixie or Pub bike. £10 ono Collection only from Southampton.

Has anyone got one of these dust caps going spare they want to sell? I'm missing one on my Dawes Galaxy project.

I'm starting to make a list of parts needed for my 1980 Dawes Galaxy restoration. I'm going to need to replace the 5 speed freewheel. Can I use an indexed freewheel with friction shifters? I know it doesn't work the other way around. Choice for non indexed is a bit limited.

Just going over the Galaxy. I'm going to be asking a lot of questions because I want to do this one right and keep as much original as I can. Is this chain ring too far gone? And if it is can I get a replacement?

Just picked this up. I'm guessing 1981 entry level Galaxy. Replacement back wheel and saddle but everything else is there. I've always had a thing for Dawes ever since a school mate rolled up on one. Made my gas pipe 5 Speed Raleigh look very low rent. Only paid £25 for this but it needs a...

After yesterday's rant and reading other peoples stories I realised I still have things to be grateful for. I had to have my foot repositioned and replastered last week. My niece wanted me to have red for Christmas. The nurse said it would be changed before then so she did a Halloween one...

19" Raleigh Moonrun Reynolds 501 frame with forks and Tioga oversize headset. Free to the first person to collect it. Sorry can't post it housebound with an injury at the moment.

SORTED NOT NEEDED NOW I'm after a front mudguard for a 1995'ish Pioneer. 700c wheel. Doesn't have to be pristine, it's a budget build Thanks

This is a sad tale and a warning to all... I recently sold my '96 Marin Bear Valley mountain Bike. Much as I liked it my back was suffering even with a shorter stem. So I decided I needed something a bit more sensible. The good lady was away visiting family and I was home alone with a bottle...

I've been informed I've underpriced this so I have amended it. 1996 Marin Bear Valley SE. Some scrapes and chips on the frame but otherwise good condition, original except Saddle and tyres. Not used since September 2020. To be honest it's a bit too big and streached out for me now. I need...

Looks like a mix of parts but could be a good base https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/marin-bear-valley-/1405021212
