Dawes Super Galaxy Tandem – British Touring Heritage at Its Finest
The Dawes Super Galaxy Tandem is a true icon of British touring — built for serious miles, serious loads, and serious adventures. Crafted from legendary Reynolds 531 steel tubing, this frame delivers that unmistakable smooth, springy ride quality that steel aficionados swear by.
This tandem is set up exactly as a long-distance tourer should be. Stronglight cranksets, Shimano Deore front and rear derailleurs, and friction shifters give you bombproof reliability and easy roadside serviceability — perfect for touring where simplicity matters more than trend.
Comfort is front and centre, with Brooks B17 leather saddles for both captain and stoker (men’s and women’s versions), ideal for long days in the saddle. Rolling on Schwalbe Marathon tyres, it’s built to shrug off miles, weight, and rough surfaces without complaint.
A thoughtful touring touch is the friction handbrake, allowing the bike to be held securely when parked — an essential feature on a fully loaded tandem. Finished with Dia-Compe brake levers and a proper tandem Technomic stem, this is a bike built by people who knew exactly what they were doing.
