A fine bike, I still have one and use it daily. Mine is a 1984 model, the tubing, fork and stays are all 531C, it is still all original except for chain, the tires and the front rack. As far as I know the classic came in only one colour, burgundy with a silver head. I paid 375 pound for the bike, bo...

If by protocol, you mean how it works, I will try to explain: Normally you just look at the item you are interested in and contact the seller, some leave their phone number others you can mail. most if not all speak enough English to get by, e-mail is the best way to go about it. LOOK AT ALL THE PIC...

Interesting topic; When I recently got onto my brand new Dawes Super galaxy, something did not feel quite right. Until reading this topic I just had no idea, I figured well... new bike you will just have to get used to it, now I know better. Although the 2007 Dawes specs tell me that the cranks are ...

Thanks, Mike

This is my brandnew Super galaxy, with slight modifications, I had the drop handlebars exchanged for mtb handlebars. And a Brooks B17 because it is a must, got one on my two other bikes. I am still running it in, if the weather allows me. http://forum.ctc.org.uk/userpix/3954_DSC00816_1.jpg

Hi,

I have just checked my brand new super Galaxy, the seatpost diameter is 27.2 mm.

Update: I did removed mine and found it to be stamped Diameter 27.2 mm

@ Mick F, About that Raleigh Classic; five year ago I had it completely stripped, fully sandblasted and powder coated. All components replaced incl. the antique 27 inch rims, used Shimano Lx right through. The only thing still original is the Reynolds frame and fork, rides better than ever, yes, som...
