There is a CK on the derailleur stamped into the it to the right of the type stamp. This should also help...

The vintage #'s appear to end with B 2002 [https://www.pedalpedlar.co.uk/blogs/the ... date-codes] so I presume the C would be 2004 and the K November. Would you agree? So it looks like it is a 2004 or 5 model.

Re: Can anyone date this Galaxy?
The manufacture date of the components doesn't necessarily mean that the bike is that year, but it's a ball park. I'd agree definitely sell the saddle and bag separately, you'd get much more money than you'd be able to bundling them with the bike.

A previous thread about when the Galaxy changed from quill to ahead stem, just out of interest.

Re: Can anyone date this Galaxy?
So if the later aheadset frame I put up was 2006..and the shimano date codes you are finding are 2004 and 2005 it looks like these dates "bracket" you to some time in 2005. Regarding the sale price at this sort of age the overall condition is going to be far more important than the exact age...a bit like all of us in fact
Re: Can anyone date this Galaxy?
So mine definitely looks a 2005 version in the light of the quill stem and other dating evidence. Thankyou.colin54 wrote: ↑4 May 2021, 11:27pm A previous thread about when the Galaxy changed from quill to ahead stem, just out of interest.
