Picked up this early 70s Dawes Galaxy for $10 at the shop sale. Not sure what to do with it yet but couldn’t pass up the Reynolds frame

$10? Seriously? Bafang that thing and ride it ’til the wheels fall off.
Great bikes! I have one I restored about 15 years ago.
Totally ignorant here. What’s the counter looking thing in the 6th photo?
It’s even got an odometer, awesome find!
She’s a single speed candidate, if you don’t already have one (of similar light weight).
Coolest dork disk I’ve ever seen
Can never go wrong for $10!
I was surprised to see a Reynolds stick on the seat tube, so wanted to dig a little further. it’s not often you see stamped drops on a Reynolds 531 frameset..[here’s some info](https://thevelocollective.com/after-the-touristique-i-came-across-a-dawes-galaxy/)
Sweet deal! Screw the naysayers🤨Start wrenching & bring that steed back to life😊
Found a similar bike with them color scheme at a goodwill over a decade ago. It was the first bike I ever tore apart completely and rebuilt. I just wish it fit me! I still use the brooks saddle that was on it. Love that brown and yellow color scheme!
I have a Mirage (same frameset, more of a road spec than touring) of similar vintage in many pieces I keep meaning to get sorted. Was planning a restomod.
Awesome score!
