• I'm starting to build a Dawes Lady Galaxy with what I have, plus more. Most of what I have got is retro mtb stuff, so I'm thinking I will use a retro mtb 8speed drivetrain as I pretty much have that, bar a rear mech.

    I've basically sold most of what I need on here over the last couple years which is a bit silly but I imagine that's the same for lots of us here! I'm in Bristol so it will need posting, or collection here.

    On my list:

    1. swept back alloy bars in silver. no steel please, trying to keep this a relatively light build
    2. pedals
    3. comfy saddle
    4. a silver 27.0 seatpost (I think this is sorted)
    5. retro mtb rear mech, ideally XT m739
    6. Tektro long drop brakes r559
    7. flat bar cantilever / short-pull brake levers

    not on my list any more:

    1. Short 1" quill stem, silver, c. 60-80mm
    2. 1" JIS headset
    3. 700c wheelset. All silver. 8 speed cassette compatible i.e. 130mm spacing on rear.

    Probably more later as the project evolves.
