I’m selling my Dawes Galaxy, 2006 model. It’s a brilliant, well loved, long distance tourer, but I don’t get to do many of those at the moment, so it has to go.
It’s Reynolds 631 frame (56cm seat tube, 57cm top tube), in fairly good shape, with no dents, but some scratches and marks here and there.
There’s a Shimano triple chainset (Tiagra front mech, Deore rear mech, 11-32 cassette), with bar end levers (indexed rear, unindexed front).
It’s got WTB Dual Duty rims on Shimano hubs, both in good shape, running true. It has 28C front and 32C rear Schwalbe Marathon tyres – not sure why they're different - I think I never got round to replacing one of them. I’ve got a new 28C spare so could replace the 32C with that if you want. The front mudguard has some slight damage, but doesn’t cause any problems. Could probably take pretty hefty tyres if you wanted.
The brakes are cantilever (Suntour XC rear, Tektro Onyx front), and probably need the pads replacing.
The bars are 44cm wide, with a 110mm stem. The tape is pretty tatty and definitely needs replacing.
No pedals supplied, and I’ve put a bog standard Marin saddle from my parts bin on it for the sale.
Collection available from E5 most weekday evenings and weekends.
The same model has gone recently on eBay for between £360 and £480, so let’s call it £300.
...And ranging from 56 - 65cm. Gotta get them Galaxies!

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: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) 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
> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

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