Claire's just taken delivery of a Dawes Galaxy, courtesy of Ebay. It's actually the Super Galaxy model. It was a great deal - and all indications are that the seller was reluctant to sell at the winning bid... should have set a reserve price! We've got some tweaking to do to get it set up properly. It arrived configured in ultra-long-distance touring mode... with three water bottle cages and crazy moustache bars. It will tour again, but for now the distances will be relatively short.

It's a beautiful machine, and light too. Listed weight is around 30lb, presumably for the medium with rack. This one is (currently) without rack, is the small frame, and is featherweight (for a tourer). It's Reynolds 853, so it should be, although all those touring accoutrements soon add up.

We'll post a review and pics once it's done some miles.

Matt and Sarah did their Trans-America adventure on Dawes Super Galaxies, and vouch for them sternly.
