Consistently nice the Royal, whereas the galaxy had some highs and lows.

What can you buy for £50 these days? 50 of these

The same era galaxy isn't a bus ride close. 708 spiral tubing and oversized top tube. I've got the 708 Randonneur and royal both fantastic bikes. The frame is identical just equipment differences.

Mine is in my bike thread in my signature. Only my opinion about the galaxy, but I've had several galaxy's and the Randonneur and royal are better for me.
