1978 Dawes Super Galaxy pics
Well I haven't cleaned it yet, but because we all like before / after pics here goes!
Overall look -
Missing Reynolds sticker - (spot the hole near pump braze-on?) :-(
Rear dropout - the rack is mounted outside both mudguard stays, is this normal / strong enough?
Bar endplug -
Specs :
Levers - Weinmann suicide
Front brake - Weinmann Vainqueur 610
Rear Brake - Weinmann 750 Vainqueur 999
Shifters - Suntour Power Shifter
FD & RD - Suntour Cyclone
Bars - GB alloy ('Mil Remo' endplugs)
Stem - GB forged
Pedals - Kyokuto Top Run (Made in Japan)
Cranks - TA Specialites
Seatpost - 26.3mm BIRMALUX (see earlier thread)
Saddle - Brooks B17
Hubs - Normandy
Rims - Rigida 27 * 1 1/4 alloy
Mudguards - ESGE Made in W Germany
Thats it, so is it all original? pedals and bars seem suspect to me for an English tourer.
Cheers, Prav

Yeah the colour rocks! it has a subtle fade - where the decals are on the TT & ST is a bit lighter..
I bought it (including a d-lock and 2 keys!!) from Gumtree (Craigslist for Londoners)
Been searching ages for a big frame!
(it was at least rideable unlike the peugeot I bought a few weeks back for 12 pounds..)
