Thanks for all the comments. Yes, will take bike back to LBS & get
them to check out the front mech. Have about managed to get it
working, with only a slight touching on inside face when in lowest
gear. However, the height is **** postion - nearly 6mm above outer
ring ! The front mech is a 'Nexave Compact' one, so I would have
thought that this is suitable for any compact chainset ?? Ideally, I
need to front mech cage to be about 3 or 4 mm shorter, then it would
clear frame ok.
Cant understand if others have upgraded bikes of this era, why this
particular Galaxy has such a bad chainline ? I assume it would have
originally been a 10 speed setup, as this bike has chromed front forks
- think it must be early 1980's model. The person I bought it off had
it setup as a single speed bike, so dont know if this would have made
a difference.
Does anyone know of likely costs in future if I was looking at having
it stripped down, relevant cantilever/bottle bosses put on & resprayed
? The frame is basically sound, though its showing its age ! Anywhere
I can get suitable Dawes transfers from ?
