Lovely bike!
I have an early Galaxy which i am finding impossible to date other than generally 'mid 70's'. I've had a couple of very similar bikes before and looked at buying one new in the late 70's (ended up with a Carlton instead) and my recollection is that all were different in terms of decals, length of chroming on fork legs, etc. One particular variation i can recall is that some seemed to have the 'Galaxy' decal on the top tube whilst others did not and some seemed to have more fork rake than others...very strange! My bike has no top tube decal and fork rake more like a period 'racing' bike than a tourer....but is definitely completely original in both respects.....
My current bike is about 50% original...frame and forks, all paintwork, decals and chrome, bars, stem, seat and seat stem, brakes, headset... but the rest has been upgraded to higher quality parts from the early to mid 80's. It's a lovely bike to ride and much more lively than some newer Galaxies i have owned.
