Dawes Galaxy Bikes and Others
Dawes Cycles started in 1906 when Charles Dawes went into business with Humphries & Dawes with the Humphries making motor cycles and Dawes making bicycles.
The split in 1926 led to the Dawes Cycles Limited that we know today being formed in its own right with the business taking off. In 1939 - 1945 the Dawes factory made bicycles for the armed services for war use and has supported a whole host of British racing cyclists over the years both road and off-road racing and touring.
The quality of Dawes production models has meant they have become benchmark products such as the Dawes Galaxy tourer, used the world over in some of the most demanding territory ever toured.

In the late 40s and early 50s, English cycling clubman, of which there were many, would very often buy factory-built bikes as the cost of a bike still cost many times the weekly wage. Brands such as Dawes became very popular as they were recognised for their quality and it was perceived as a manufacturer of bikes a cut above the
crowd. Dawes were always proud about their hand-brazed frames and they always liked to show that they used English parts for their frame with most of them based in the Midlands hence the reliance on the ever reliable Reynolds tubing.
