Anyway, I noticed this 1992 part 1 Dawes Galaxy Tour in immaculate condition with Mavic A319 wheels and shimano Deore groupset. I couldn't believe he was only asking £90!!! Being from Yorkshire I had to try my hand at a bit of bargaining and I ended up giving him £85 for it!!!! I feel like this is a steal! the mudguards and pannier rack wouldn't have cost much less than that alone!!! I cant tell you all how happy I am with this purchase! Ill be cycling this steed around the Yorkshire wolds way at the end of July! I cant wait to rack up the miles on this new addition to my bike family!!! The pics don't do justice to how amazing the condition of this bike is!!
Nice! I think you got a great deal.
