Ah: "Rivnuts"! Never knew such things existed.
I've got an older Galaxy (27" wheels) and it's always puzzled me that i) such a renowned long distance bike only had one set of bottle cage mounts and ii) what the one set were.
Mystery solved: it obviously harks from a time before brazed-on cage mounts (although it has cable guides, under the BB cable routing and is 126mm at the rear, so it's not ancient) and some one has used Rivnuts for one cage.
Anyway, good work, as you were!
