"hands-off" road test
Test-riding a used Dawes Galaxy tourer today I found it was difficult /
impossible to ride with hands off. Frame did not seem to be out of line. Head bearing was not stiff. A 2008 model it had the modern frame geometry with slightly slanting top tube. It wasn't that it pulled to one side; it was just very dicky and could swerve to either side. It had the usual 42" wheelbase. I love a bike you can easily ride without hands so did not buy this one. Anyone hazard a guess as to what might be wrong? I have an older Dawes with hrizontal top tube and it rides like a dream. Rob N |
