Sadly a new and exciting home move means that this classic Dawes Super Galaxy 531 touring tandem has to find some new loving, lucky owners.
Originally a never ridden “barn-find” that had spent 30 years dormant, we’ve restored it to classic but modern touring setup that not only looks like it’s fit for a true “famous five adventure” … it actually is!
You’d be hard pressed to find another classic tandem is such good condition from this vintage. It’s fully serviced by Brixton Cycles and ready to roll so we’re looking for £950 ono.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
I’m going to be sad to see this beauty go :-(
