Early 70's Dawes Galaxy off of Craig's List last week.
Yai! I have a Dawes Galaxy just like that. The lug paintwork on mine is a bit more blingy.
Alas, over the years, it has evolved:

the Simplex Derailleur fell of on a road somewhere in Wisconsin. It now has a Shimano 715 or something
When the whole Hybrid thing took offin the 90's, the down bars became straight bars (where the heck are those down bars? I dont think mine had al that gingerbread)
The wonderful Brooks B5N that was stock has migrated to my '04 Felt F65
(HINT: I am looking for a useable Brooks saddle to fit back on the Dawes or the BOttecchia that I am rebuilding; anyone have one to sell or trade?)
The Toe Clips have migrated to my girlfriend's road bike

Otherwise it is stock (ha ha)

What was the other Dawes model in their line from the early 70's? Can't recall the name... like it was a planet
