Trying to finish off my touring bike - 70's Dawes Super Galaxy.

I need the following:

26.3 seatpost

Red brake cable outers front and rear.

Can anyone help?

hey goodhead, wouldn't the seatpost more than likely be a 26.4??

That's what you'd think. & Prav managed to fit a 26.4 in his. But apparently it should be 26.3 so I'm putting this out there to see if anyone has this mythical post before trying to squeeze a 26.4 in.

Cheers Murts. It's a bit battered that one! If anyone has something in better condition let me know.

& Louis - thanks for the link fella.

True - I just e-mailed Frank.

Bit of a bitch as his postage costs seem high & I've just been working on a contract in the netherlands for the last 6 months that has now finished. Gah.

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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