Thankfully too big and too far away for me

What do you make of the XL anonymous blue one? Any guess as to the builder?
Nice lugwork suggests it's a good quality frame, but look at those fork clearances and the long drop brakes! That was built to be able to run with sensible tyres when fitted with mudguards. Looks more Tourer than Racer.

It's a fast light tourer from the early eighties, likely built to order. Sometimes called a demi course. Could be built by any good pair of hands but sort of reminds me of M Steel.

Yes agree, in some respects quite sporty with the short rake forks and the back tyre quite close to the seat tube - but you could almost jam a bit of scaffold pole in between the top of the tyre and the fork crown!

Really love that Galaxy, just thinking of the bits i would change and upgrade if i had it, Fit mudguards, centre pull brakes,Brooks saddle and rack, a new bike of that quality would cost thousands.

Apart from the clearances it looks Italian to me

I'm not sure the seller knows what he has got there. A Dawes racer? It's a 531 framed tourer that has lost a few bits along the way.

This has been listed on freeads Seller says collection only think that’s what’s holding the sale up somewhat shame he won’t box it and send it would make good money for him
