Sorry for the "anti" advert.. I've spent all weekend looking at
various sites/lbs's.. no luck :o(

If you have one for sale, or seen an advert.. I'd be very glad if you
could pass on the details.. either here or via email ( bike at blewett
dot nildram dot co dot uk). BTW I'm in SW London.

Alternatvelty when do the 2005 versions come out.. and how quickly are
the 2004 models discounted?

Thanks
Mark

I have tried to email you, but it's bouncing. The message says your

Hi

I don't know if you would be willing to try this, but I'm selling a 23"
Dawes Galaxy frame & forks, metallic purple. Bike was built in 1991,
before they moved production to eastern europe and the quality dropped.
Find a long stem and long seatpost, then pretend you're using a compact
frame? (:
The bike is in Reading, contact me for more details (I will try to take
some digital photos too).
I look forward to hearing from you.

(BTW 2003 Galaxies are on sale at lots of places now if you aren't
interested in my frame. Failing that, next years bikes usually come out
around October so expect to see sales then)

(Back to usenet)

Hope it's ok for me to post stuff like this - sorry if it gets on anyone's
nerves.

The 2005 models are coming out about now. Some just up on Specialized web
site. Nothing on dawes yet though.

Dawes Super Galaxy 2003 all sizes inc 25in going for £670 at bikesheduk.com
I would imagine they are usually quite a bit more than that? Never used the
site myself so dont know how reliable they are but they do have an ad in C+.

If you spot something, I'd be interested in knowing! Having not
followed the "true path" for 10 years I guessed Sept/Oct...just when
the weather turns :o(

Normal RRP standard Galaxy is £699 for a 2004.. best I've seen is
£650, I did find (via a search engine) a page which had a 2003 for
£550.. unfortunately it was an old page :o(

Hadn't looked at a Super Galaxy... a new Galaxy is just outside my
budget.. it's tempting... but then add lock/lights/cover etc (I'm
starting from scratch again) and it's just too much.. hence looking
for referbing an secondhand or buying last years discounted.

www.cycling2000.co.uk generally have good offers on last year's stock
in the CTC comic.
