Wonderful!

I think I shall use "Avoid the earthquake" instead of "full suspension"
from now on ;-)

I also especially like the honest description of the gear mechs - stir
ago and stir behind. Not too accurate gear changing I take it.

What gets me is the pictures /so/ don't agree with the text.

"Ago fork:The Fox Float 120 RLs 120 mm route of travel, adjustable return
to play, lock to wait forever function"

Well, a Fox Float is a reasonable fork, but it doesn't look like that.

"Stir ago:Shimano M-580 LX
Stir behind:Shimano M-750 XT"

I quite like the idea of derailleurs being called 'stirs' - after all, you
use them for stirring the gears. But the derailleurs in the photo are
clearly marked 'SunRun'.

I wonder what "lock to wait forever function" is supposed to mean!

In the touring stakes I don't think the Dawes Galaxy has much to fear.

Not bad - six quid ain't bad for a 'Touring Bike'.

It's fork lock out, you can wait forever for the fork to bounce 'cause it won't

I like teh fact it has 'flywheels' and all chainrings should be called 'tooth dish', but what is an 'Empress stalk'?

I'm /fairly/ confident that's the rear hub.

X-no-archive: No, I'm not *that* naive.

I also like the idea that it may take 35-45 days to deliver. After 45
days you can no longer do a Paypal chargeback for non-delivery *when* it
doesn't actually turn up....

All in all, having carefully considered, I think I'll give it a miss

Although what is presumably the Truvativ Stylo tooth dish is marked
'sunwheel' in the pictures. Also, the Shimano XT stir behind appears
to be made from black plastic and is labelled 'sunrun'. Which is
strange - none of the XT componentry on my bikes has similar
markings...
