Greatings from England
Hello everyone, Just purchased a Dawes Galaxy & am in the process of equiping it for a ride through Canada next year. Next on the list is my panniers !
Commuted to work on an old Peurgeot for over 5 years, (off & on), generally lapse in the summer months though !
Suppose I fall into the touring catagory (or insane)
Thanks for the info so far
Mick

Welcome to BikeForums Mick.
I have a friend who owns a mid-80s Peugeot. Said he doesn't need a new bike since it never gives him any problems.
There's a lot to be said for some of the older bikes.

Welcome Mick. The Galaxy is a class act. Great touring bike. I'm sure you'll find this forum useful too.
