But isn't the Dawes Sardar STI now considered to be a modern-day
replacement for the Galaxy.

IIRC the Sardar is a 26" wheel tourer, so not a direct replacement per se.

Though since it has a compact frame where the Galaxy doesn't that isn't
a like for like comparison. Compact frames may fit a wider variety of
rider sizes and are effectively bigger than a nominal traditional frame
size suggests. How much effectively bigger I'm not sure, you'd need to
try one.
