Hi. Black oval is ‘82-2k. Torch is ‘63x’74. Not sure about the Raleigh. Would love to take them off your hands, happy to cover postage :-)

Hi, Still available, Have a padded envelope with a stamp on it so postage should cost nothing to me, if you pm me your address i will put them in the post then when you get them and if happy perhaps drop something into an animal charity?

I have a GalaxyTour in the green sapphire flip with 130 rear spacing. It uses the mountain and sun sticker headtube logo shown in 2nd post in this thread. So you’d think it would date into 2000’s as catalogues show the oval dawes logo later than that. However seatpost is 27.0 so pre switch of production to Easter Europe for lugged frames (as seatpost went to 27.2 at that point).

Can’t figure an exact date though.

Hmmm actually thinking about it I have seen 2 or 3 bikes like mine (same colour “galaxy tour” same head tube logo) but on the blue stickers on seat tube they have 97 world tour on them but otherwise very similar to mine.

So think maybe a tie in with 1997 uci world tour???? So would that make my bike one of these but it didn’t make it to sale in 97 so stickers were seat tube stickers were updated and rest of frames sold maybe some time between 98 and 00.
