Bought an old Galaxy and had a little adventure (Cumbrian coast)

[sefton1275gt]

So, I bought an old Galaxy, replaced a few parts, added some tubus racks, sourced some period Panniers and went on a long weekend around the coast of Cumbria (my first ever tour)

…loved it.

(Since upgraded the wheels, a bigger cassette and a nice xt rear mech)

Smashing. Lovely pics. Just one thing - you slept in a tent but made your bike sleep outside. Don't you love her anymore?

Excellent adventure! I'm interested in what chainset you're running there. Could you put the specs up for me?

It’s a strong light double. Strange fitment from what I remember. Put a 26 44 on.
