Picked up a Dawes Galaxy on Bumtree a couple of months back for silly money, ideal base :
I think it's an '81 bike, though if anyone here knows different please let me know
Anyhoo, a bit of paint, and some replacement bitties, and it looks like this :
Mavic 700c rims, Mavic titanium bars, Shimano 105 rear mech, Suntour period front mech, Weinmann period levers, all courtesy of the g/fs ridiculously over-stocked girl-cave New Selle saddle from the 'Bay, likewise the tyres, which are due to go, they look gash
Loving riding it, it's twice the bike my Carrera TDF is, and for a fraction of the price!
