Hi,
I'm thinking of purchasing a used, mid-80s Dawes Galaxy in great
condition. I'll probably want to upgrade to rear deraileur to indexed
shifting at some point and I'm curious how much I should budget for
this. I'd expect to need to adjust the dropout spacing, but will I
need to use a claw or add any brazed-on eyelets or the like? That might
be a bit too much.
Anyone have experiencing upgrading one of these bikes? Is it possible
to use most modern parts or are there measurement issues (french vs.
standard, etc) that would prevent me from using shimano components and
such?
Thanks.
