It's worth checking the Dawes Facebook group... they have a huge following here in the UK. The brand is very well respected and there are loads of folks who know every nut & bolt about them. (I'm surprised more of them didn't make it to the US?) I cannot tell you the number of times old codgers have come up to me with a sparkle in their eye and said; "I used to have a Dawes years ago... mine was a Galaxy too!". They were a classic and it's a shame the Galaxy line didn't make it another year...
