Thanks for the reply, had a few hours on it since yesterday,, its a really comfortable ride, and the downshifters take me right back to my teenage years in the 1970's, I think your right regarding the fenders/ mud guards.

Very nice, lovely bikes.

Picking up, local (ish) a Dawes Galaxy this afternoon. In good working order, (apparently), a small 50cm frame which will suit my height 5' 3'' with a new set of tyres on it. £100 , so I am happy to pay that. Obviously I plan to add mud guards and a rear rack and will change the bar tape...

I really love the colour of this frame

Hi Karl it was great meeting you today and thanks for selling this lovley bike to me.
