That is the most beautiful frame I have ever seen, no exceptions. Lovely.

Just been given this lovely Raleigh Richmond, needs a good clean, check over, etc. The frame is Reynolds 531, gear set up looks like a Suntour 6 speed. It's very nice and quite light too - perfect for Mrs 3BM.

Still needs some work. Had this frame since 1979. Re-newed bottom bracket, headset bearings, quill stem, handelbars, rim brakes, brake levers & cables. Its currently single speed, but thinking about putting the Shimano 600 gears back on.

here is mine, sorry its in B/W, for now that was the only way to reduce the file size. an early eighties holdsworth i think, rides beautifully.

Pimp my Galaxy #2

It's been a while since I posted a pic of my Dawes Galaxy, and I realised the other day just how much it's evolved / improved since.

Here it is in full "audax" trim (right down to the pencil attached to the bar bag with a piece of elastic)

Here are the changes I've made from the 1987 standard bike:

Handbuilt wheels: Open Pro rims on 105 hubs
(I am so glad I learned how to build wheels - these have been perfect)
Rear Mech: Ultegra
Front Mech: 105
BB & Cranks: 105
Chainrings: TA 50/38/26 (yeah I know - what a wuss!)
Cassette: 12-30 (custom built from sprockets taken from a butchered 11-32 and a 11-34)
Rear brake: Suntour SE (Petersen design)
Saddle: Brooks Ti Swift
Handlebars: Nitto Randonneur
Shifters: Sora (thanks MacB !)
SKS Chromoplastics
Topeak Saddle bag & pump
Tesco Q/R Handlebar bag (why don't they do those any more?)
RAM GPS mount on Stem
Home made light brackets on low riser bosses.

OK so I've spent more on it in the last couple of years than the original bike cost....but it really suits me and the riding I do now. Depending on when I can afford my dream titanium frame (Yukon?), the drive train will be swopped straight across (or duplicated)....although I might upgrade the shifters before then.

OH yes - and a big thank you to all on CC forums from whom I've learned enough to do all this without recourse to LBS.

My recently acquired BSA Javelin. Don't know the specs on them as they're few and far between. Needs some new tyres unfortunately, but I will keep them.

It's rideable now!

Not bought from Sheffield off of the ebay was it? I had my eye on that! Frame was a bit too small for me but I thought it was a brilliant looking bike.

After twenty five years and a couple of prangs I had to retire my faithful steel Holdsworth. I replaced with a Dave Yates steel audax/tourer and it is sublimely comfortable.
