I bought a Dawes Galaxy years ago... 2nd hand, nice bike, took it on a tour or Southern Eire. Anyway, it developed a crack near the headstock. I contacted Dawes. They said, take the frame to our dealer (in Camden). We'll send you a new frame. I stripped it down to the frame. They sent me a new frame. I rebuilt the bike. Edited on 24/03/2026 at 18:22:14.
