Dawes Galaxy estimated ~1972 for sale

[cornsack]

Hi,

Looking for a fair price

for my Dawes road bike. In good rideable condition, new crank and cassette fitted a couple of years ago but done probably 50 miles max since then.

Is definitely early-mid 1970's but most likely 1972. Great bike and very lightweight for the time. With inflation taken into account was about £3,500 new!

Beautiful bike and still a pleasure to ride. Have included photos to try and show the worst of the decals and paintwork in an effort to be fair here but I think the bike looks in fantastic condition for its age. A few marks and scratches in paintwork as you can see but not a rust heap.

It has under bb cable guides and pressed steel dropouts with no mech hanger. Are you sure it’s a 1972 Galaxy ?

Nice looking bike

Checking what similar bikes have sold for on eBay, is a good way to get some idea of it’s current value.

This is also reputed to be '72;

Has the above BB cables. Decals look similar.

Op bike has later under bb guides, the bike above has the more usual over bb guides and stops typical of the 70's

Mid seventies would be my guess judging by this 76 catalogue (see link). The bike in 76 had similair down tube graphics and under bb cables. So maybe a year or two earlier?
