I've got my other bike in a rideable state & have left the damaged
one with a shop for evaluation. A provisional opinion was to have
the frame replaced at a cost of ~£950 - ouch!



I haven't got the thread history to hand, but wasn't this for a 531?
You can get a whole Galaxy for less than that.

Yup it is 531. I would guess at that figure being OTT for the frame alone!
It had cantilever brake & Blackburn bosses added ~15yrs ago. No mudguards,
straight bars, used for commuting & the occasional CTC ride. I will
certainly investigate having the frame repaired. I've never ridden a
stripped down Galaxy, so can't comment. People who have ridden it have been
surprised by its agility - it would seem a rack on a bike conjures up a
certain image!
