New project, found dumped.
Dawes Super Galaxy
Well abused but salvagable. Think the frame is 531ST but it doesn't have a sticker. I've read this was fairly common on Dawes in the late 90s? Mostly Deore LX groupset with Mavic rims and ITM/3ttt bar/stem. Think I'm gonna get it clear powder coated, get some Panaracer Paselas and loose the ugly chainst. Otherwise I think i'll stick with the bits that are on it.
Came with a Brooks B17 saddle but the rails are pretty grotty. Is it best to paint em without removing them or can you take em off to powder coat and rivet them back on? Also the sadle was so baggy the pin had come out the front. I managed to get it back in place and oiled the threads but when I try and tighten the nut at the front, the pin turns with it. Anyone else had this problem?
