Same vintage as mine! '90/91 I think. On phone so didn't look too closely but it looks to be original parts/spec, I which case check the spokes/rims as well as everything else @hovis said.
It'll be 135 spaced at the back with a JIS headset, everything else on them is quite normal.
The dual brake lever does front and rear with the other doing the drum - I found this to be a not-great arrangement so swapped the drum onto a dirty harry on the stoker bar and independent front/rear on the front handlebars, before dumping the drum entirely. You may get on with it, who knows!

So I'm going to have a look at a Dawes Super Galaxy (vintage unknown) on Sunday, anything in particular I should be looking at/any well known issues on these bikes? It looks in lovely condition (pics here) but don't want to miss anything that's going to cost a lot to remedy further down the line.
Otherwise, very much looking forward to trying it!
