Finally got round to taking my cracked Dawes Galaxy down to Ryan at OAK Cycles for repair. He's putting a new headtube and downtube lug in and filling a couple of dents. Then its a new paint job and a bit of a refurb, (possibly a la Hilly Ben's FW Evans tourer) as the current set up was looking a bit tired after being thrashed round London for 2 years. New bar tape, mudguards, saddle and possibly some other bits and pieces as well.
Here it is on last mini-tour I did on it before the crack appeared.
