PT Stallard Service and Upgrade

In June last year I built a bike up on request for a client in London who then changed his mind and did not want the bike.

The Percy Stallard in its original paint work quickly found a new admirer and was pounced upon by Abu Savage a London based clothes designer and maker. As the bike was not done to his personal specification I have just undertaken a couple of upgrades and a brake and cable service 

A new set of Wheels and rear cassette, New Schwalbe Marathon Tyres and inner tubes. I also changed the mudguards for this pair of square style chrome which add to the quality of this rare and unique bicycle. 

The rack was added by Abu and he uses the bike as a work horse commuter bike ferrying his bespoke handmade shirts and jackets around London. You can view his website by clicking on this link Abu Savage @ Rockulater 

The original post for the bike is here from June 2020

Dawes Galaxy Tour Circa 1995

Dawes Galaxy Tour from 1995 

I often get asked by people to find a bike for them, this was the case with this one. A beautiful example of a classic 90's tourer. I gave the bike a small update with new cables and tyres and tubes and then changed the handle bars and gear lever from a stick down-tube shifter to handle-bar shifter. 

This bike had one owner from new and is now the new ride for  Henry Gundry-White a London based artist.
