Building up an ‘all road’ sort of bike for a friend. Looking for a steel frame with a good amount of clearance to build around, ideally 130 or 135mm rear spacing (but can always try my hand at cold setting the rear dropouts if need be)

Appreciate it's larger, but I have a 60cm Dawes Galaxy here if that would be of interest?

Hey, thanks for the offer, do you know what year it was made? I can check out the geometry in an old catalogue and see if it works!

Not sure, it has 130mm rear spacing and is 531st if that helps.

Seat tube - 60cm centre bb to top of seat tube

Top tube c2c - approx 56.5cm

130mm rear spacing

Small ding on top tube by the 'y' of galaxy, presumably from handlebars as its in that position.

Got this Dawes Street Wise 23 inch frame and fork waiting to be stripped down - has clearance for 35mm+ tyres. The right vibe?

Hey there sorry for the late reply, the person I’m buying for has ended up deciding on going for a new frame instead, the bike looks great fun though!

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:

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
