I'd always turned my nose up at the idea of a pure touring bike but as the years have passed I've moved possibly into what's the perfect demographic for ownership, and now I'm kind of besotted by them!
Having chucked my leg over a couple of local bikes to check for size/fit I soon realised that a 58cm Galaxy fits me like the proverbial, one of those bikes that feels instantly familiar and comfortable.
So here's my new to me 92 Super Galaxy. I chose this one for both the rugged/familiar 7sp Deore DX set up, and that colour!
Although I appreciate the timeless and classy British green swathes of Galaxy's that are available I always tend to prefer something a little brighter and this fits the bill perfectly.
I'd read somewhere what this particular colour is called but it escapes me now, its a pearlescent finish and appears to have several different hues dependent on lighting conditions.
There's lots of opportunity to clean it up and take care of numerous blemishes (colour matching will be fun..) So far I've thrown on an old Turbo but I plan to add a Brooks saddle and some funkier grip tape.
I'm even having daft ideas about LEJOG on this old classic...
Everyone should try a Galaxy out, they're so nice to ride!
