Hey David,

Reg says (among other things), "The rear brake hanger should be curved round rod I think, not pressed from flat sheet"

I am no kind of expert on Dawes bikes, but the Galaxy I just bought on Ebay most certainly does have the flat sheet rear brake cable hanger (see photo of saddle) see the link: http://ebay.com/<blah>

Not that having this hanger guarantees your bike is a Dawes (since other makers could certainly have used them), but hey, what do I know?
