Tandem - Dawes Galaxy Twin with custom fork

Dawes Galaxy Twin (tandem) with custom fork

Size: Large/Medium (21" front /17" rear) fitting riders around 6+ft to 5ft 4. Currently setup for a 6'2" captain and 5'8" stoker.

Extras included: Tandem roof rack

The bike is built with gravel touring in mind. It is surprisingly light (sorry don’t have any scales to weigh it) and can fit racks and fenders front and rear.

It is topped off with a custom build tandem fork by frame builder Lee Cooper. The fork can take a wide variety of front racks including low riders and a porteur style platform rack at the same time.

The fork is disc only, has fender mounts and can clear a 29 x 2.0” tyre easily. The rear can also fit big tyres (just not quite as big), currently fitted with 700 x 45mm. The wheels are stock 36 spoke tandem specific, running free and true.

The drivetrain is Shimano 9 speed with a triple chainring up front. The headset was upgraded along with the fork to a sealed bearing Cane Creek 40. Mechanical Shimano disc brakes are an upgrade from the original canti's . An additional rear rim break could be added as a drag brake if required.

We have also upgraded the stoker stem and converted both sets of bars to flats for added control and confidence off road. The pedals are Shimano dual sided with clipless spd’s on one side and flats on the other.

The whole bike has been recently serviced and is in perfect working order. There are a few cosmetic pain chips, scuffs and marks on the frame, but overall the bike is in excellent condition.

Sadly selling due to a house move.

Pickup only from Falmouth/Truro area.
