Wanted: Touring/road bike

    I'm in need of a decent tourer to ride round Ireland and potentially ride to Istanbul.

    Needs to be able to take panniers. I have been looking at some second hand Dawes Galaxies, so perhaps something in this vein.

    I am 5'10, for sizing needs, and live in Dublin.

    Please PM/reply to this thread if you have something suitable!

    Hi Zindicato, any chance of photos or a bit more on the spec? How long have you had it? How much are you asking for it?

    Hi Havelock,

    I've just posted a carbon road bike on adverts. Should be perfect for your height although I'm not sure if panniers could be fitted to it (probably not but I'll check later). If you're still looking and interested feel free to check it out http://adverts.ie/310077

    Hey havelock. I've been looking for a Dawes Galaxy as well. Where have you found a second hand one?
