Dawes Lady Galaxy Mixte 23”

[Pete U]

Hi folks, ideally looking for a frame set, the type where the “cross tubes” go all the way back to the rear dropouts. I have a 21” but it’s a tad small so looking to just swop everything over not bothered about paint condition as long as it’s straight

As far as I can tell, Dawes tended not to use mixte frames (from looking at old catalogs in the archive) but more to the point you’ll struggle to get any women’s frame in 23” that hasn’t been custom built. I ride 23.5” and I’m 6ft. Dawes produced women’s frames in 19.5” and 21”, women are on average shorter than men. (There are exceptions - my youngest daughter is 5’ 11”)

Thanks for your input but see attached !
Every day is a learning day
I would have agreed with you but I used to have a cycle shop and actually sold a couple

FYI Gazelle produced some really nice Champion Mondial mixtes in larger sizes in the seventies and early eighties. These are two I have picked up over the years.

This is a 58cm:



This one is even bigger at 60cm:

I stand corrected.
