Re: Cheers. I'm ok with old BB's. It's press fit and the like that intimidate me. I'm intend to have to go at this one from the left anyway and probably won't undo the right at all - assuming I could, you know what they can be like. Interesting about the front derailleur. This one wasn't...

Re: Touch wood, eh! I shone a torch down there and there is no rust so here's hoping.

Thanks, brilliant. I was looking at something very similar on the same site. The adjustable pivot version, about 1/3 of the price. re. the stem. What's the max length you'd put into a D. Galaxy?

Re: introductoin ...and it looks like I already need to figure out how to move or delete posts. :/

Hi everyone. I've finally got my hands on a Galaxy* and cosmetically at least it's in fine condition. Chocolate brown. Hello! I think it dates from the very early 80's, the typical mix of Japanese and GB parts: Weinmann 610 / 750 centre pull brakes. Suntour VX, ft & rear. Sakae cranks. (what...

Given that I intend to be sifting through all the big brains on here for advice it seems only polite to introduce myself first. Hello everyone. I am John.
