Solo Galaxy Forks

Allan Gee2026-01-27 12:52:05

Hi, I realise this request is non-tandem related but there might be someone who can help!

Following an accident, my solo Dawes Galaxy requires replacement front forks. The frame size is 25 1/4 inches and is a 1979 model. The current forks are finished in brown / chrome.

Sourcing replacement forks is proving difficult!

Thank you for any help / advice, Allan

More than likely a 1 inch steerer with threaded headset

My initial thoughts would be to speak to SJS cycles if you haven't tried them already,

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/forks/27-inch-steel-retro-fork-240-mm-threaded-steerer-silver/

See above although you would have to check the steerer length

A frame builder would also be able to match your specifications I would think, this might be the easiest way to get something aesthetically similar and exactly what you require.

Likely your biggest problem is getting something off the shelf

I can see threadless options in 1 inch, you could always convert to an 'Aheadset' but I think that would change the classic appearance of your bike (if that bothers you).  Someone clever can confirm if a thread can be cut onto a threadless steerer.

I remember thread less forks coming out in the mid nineties alongside 1 1/8th or other oversized headsets so you are looking for quite old tech

Definitely a number of options on eBay. A quick scan shows new stock in USA, used in UK.  Depends how you feel about used / exactly what age and use history can be ascertained.
