Friesyon: Suntour indeed - ar from an ‘86 Lady Galaxy along with the freewheel.

Jameshow: I have a pair of pannier bags, not Carradice. I think they would be more than the bike is worth :-)

This applies only to earlier 1990s Dawes bikes though.
The Super Galaxy I bought last year is a '91 model which apparently is one of the last to roll off the UK 'production line'.
Well pleased with that wee factoid when I found out - ! :okay:

Hi folks :okay: thought i would do an update on the 'good old 201' I still highly recommend it for a newbie rider as its cheap as chips [about£400 new] especially good for older riders who might need a more upright riding position [dodgy back] with the quill stem being easy to adjust. The drivetrain is simple but adequate and can be upgraded to a 1 x 10 when the components wear out. Im still on the original bottom bracket which has done about 20k. Maintenance is straight forward and is great for a beginner or for a rider to become reacquainted with the basics. Highly adaptable to whatever role it needs to be- commuter to tourer :okay:
