Finally got around to posting these. 1960 something Galaxy that came via bus from the nice man in Thunder Bay. I decided to upgrade from what was left of the Simplex gears and went with 70's era Shimano. The Suntour shifters are on there cause i had them and like them. Wheels are near mint 27x1" Arayas.
The shade of green isn't too authentic, it should be deeper but its a nice metallic and looks good with the metallic copper. The decals are identical to the tattered remains that were on the frame except for the seat tube decal which was used in the 50's rather than the 60's. The 60's decal with the Dawes coat of arm doesn't seem to be available anywhere.
I stripped the frame to bare metal. Original workmanship was decent except for rather sloppy brazing. Lots of masking needed on this paint job.
Still about six weeks of salt and snow covered roads before i can see how it rides
