Bought this bike in 2020 for £400, from lfgss, but haven't ridden it in a few years as it's slightly too big for me. I'm a short legged 185cm.

62cm from bb to top tube
58cm top tube length
Shimano Sora groupset
Shimano 105 wheels
Rear Rack
Rear mudguard
I've got some 28mm touring tires I can put on it but it will take 32mm
No pedals

I haven't ridden it over a year so it's a bit dusty, got a rusty chain and will need a service. Last time I rode it I noticed some play in one of the wheels so the bearings may need sorted.

Happy to let it go for £160, pickup in Battersea. The bike is unbuilt.

Sorry, Undibbs... Read "Dawes Galaxy" and got over excited!

I've already replaced the bike so a frame swap wouldn't suit. Let me know if you want to come see it

Hi, I'd still be interested in the full bike, but thinking about it I probably should stay away from starting any projects atm... Sorry for derailing your thread slightly, I'll undibbs.

GLWS... Dawes are awesome!

Hi, is 32 the maximum?

I haven’t tried bigger but 32’s fit with mudguards so if you remove them you could probably run slightly bigger

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
