good research and clarification. Is it the same identical frame on both? i thought not from evans photo's.The Dawes website shows the Galaxy Cross as being a double butted 4130 frame. Link is to the 2014 model but I've double checked their archive section and the 2013 is the same spec frame - IE same spec tubing as the Galaxy Touring.![]()
take a look at theseGrump: Thanks for the spec on the frame differences. I will keep looking. I am going off the Cross now that the frame isn't butted.
vickster: I have racked up another bike on the credit card. I don't want anything else going on it.
I can't make any mistakes with the frame. I am hoping that this tourer will be with me for years so I have to get it right.
The Cross frame does look different to all of the rest of the range. I think the geometry must be specific to that model (probably because of the flat bars). They used to have geometry info on the website but I can't see it listed any more, so can't elaborate on that.good research and clarification. Is it the same identical frame on both? i thought not from evans photo's.
not bad. This is catching my eye. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/fuji/touring-2014-touring-bike-ec055445take a look at these
That's notably lighter than mine.The cross weighs 34lb. Ouch.
I want to put trekking bars on the bike with thumb shifters and normal brake handles that you get on MTBs. I know changing the STI's on the first link entails a lots of work such as swapping FD/RD cranksets etc.
What is required to get the second link with bar end shifters and disc brakes setup on a trekking bar.
