I'm new to touring bikes and planning a big tour, have a quick question.
Just been offered a Dawes Super Galaxy
He thinks it around ten years old.
Waiting for pictures to be sent.
He says:
Incl bike fully built as is,with 1 front pannier bar bag incl map
pouch,2 x rear panniers all carradice super c (black) and lowe alpine
ra[FONT= arial]in cover and brooks b 17 (as new) I'd have to get 900 euro no less.[/FONT]
Its immaculate all round.
Hardly used by the look of it
Front sti shifters are badly scratched,and its a triple with
everything working perfect, its basically ready for touring right now
except for some lights
Tyres are as new schwalbe marathons
Wheels are handbuilt double butted spokes
Titanium screws used where possible for weight reduction
Stem is 110mm quill type
2 x water carriers with screws for a 3rd on underneath
Waiting on pictures, but to me it sounds quite expensive for a 10 year old bike €900 ($1202) even with upgrades and bags.
Am I right or wrong??
