Dawes Galaxy

[annedonnelly]

About a year ago I bought a Dawes Galaxy Mixte frame from @biggs682

Today I rode home a complete bike!

It has some new parts and some vintage bits - I wanted shiny bits! With a lot of help from my friends at the bike shop I built it myself.

It's going to need a few adjustments I think & I want to fit a rack but it rides nicely and I love the way it looks.

Wow Anne, you really did well. That is superb, give yourself a pat on the back. Much nicer than anything you could wheel out of a bike shop today, plus it's got all that character and history.

That’s very nice, there’s nothing like riding a bike you’ve built up yourself enjoy it

@annedonnelly i often meant to have asked you had you ever finished it

When you are ready for your next build let me know

Elegant and classy. Attributes sadly missing from almost all modern bikes.
