Shall we meet up in town one day midweek for you to have a sit on it?</p> <p>PM me with your budget, as I parted with 650GBP at Christmas, so I'd like to know if I'm looking for your anticipated budget, double it or more.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3707#post-38982 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 13:59:50 +0000 tarmac jockey 38982@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I also have a brand new, it has only been up to the Meadows and back - from Priestfield once, Dawes Sonoran hanging in my garage at home which I would be prepared to swap if the bike that Dave is offering doesn't work out for you. You can check the details here <a href="http://www.dawescycles.com/p-119-sonoran.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.dawescycles.com/p-119-sonoran.aspx</a> I think it is the 22. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3707#post-38979 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 13:52:59 +0000 kaputnik 38979@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I drew a diagram to show difference between my 3 bikes (road / audax / tour).

I have a Dawes Galaxy 2003ish I was thinking of selling to offset my new Cotic &gt;X&lt;. Its green and has the following spec:</p> <p>(caution I don't have the bike at hand)<br /> Frame size 58"<br /> Deore rear derailer,<br /> Tiagra STI (plus poss front derailer)<br /> I think its a 2004 or 2003, its the oval tubed bike as apposed to the older circular tube framed bike.<br /> Marathon Plus 32 &amp; 28 tyres (4 in total)<br /> Rear pannier.<br /> Two bottle cages.... can you tell I'm running out of things ot say..
