The Dawes 2008 range of bikes is possibly their most impressive to date. Designed and manufactured using a combination of British bicycle building heritage and cutting edge technology, a Dawes cycle is more than capable of the task in hand. Setting the benchmark in touring bikes, the Galaxy is as well equipped as usual with its 27 speed Shimano Deore gears, Tektro cantilever brakes and WTB dual duty wheels. The Galaxy has Reynolds 631 butted frame tubes and Reynolds 520 chromoly forks and comes with front & rear mudguards and Tubus rear rack fitted as standard.
