Dawes says

Like the Galaxy bike, The Galaxy Twin is a benchmark tandem tourer. It utilises an aluminium frame with 700c wheels & is fully equipped with carriers & mudguards. The 700c wheels are built for loading. Each have strong 48 hole, disc hubs & are fitted with Tioga Comodo tyres. A combination of V-brakes & a rear disc brake give a belt & braces approach for the times when you are carrying a load. Equipped with Shimano Deore XT gears with Dura Ace bar end shifters & Truvativ chainwheels the Galaxy Twin gives safe, sound shifting when you are out in the wilds.
