Hi Guys. I recently bought an early Dawes Galaxy from a carboot and wondered if anyone can tell approx age for me, it does not have brazed on pegs for cables but clips on the crossbar, it has 531 stickers on forks and tubes, Made in England on the downtube, Galaxy on the crossbar and Dawes on the downtube. The colour is a browny red. Kind regards and wondered if anyone would have some pics around of early Galaxies.
Kind regards barbelfisher.

Re: Early Galaxy
I'd suggest you post some pictures of yours, with close-ups of as much equipment as poss - bearing in mind that over the decades, an early Galaxy may have had all sorts of upgrades and replacements. I presume there must be some sort of Galaxy through the Ages type of stuff available because a few years ago on a significant anniversary of the model name, CJ did an article on the development of the Galaxy since it's introduction. IIRC early editions had quite a bit of Ron Kithing's Milremo equipment.
