I was recently offered a 2007 Dawes Galaxy frame for £50, but the bike had been crashed, there is no visible damage to the frame, it appears as though the front wheel and the fork took the brunt of it, I need a new bike, but wondered as I am on a budget is it worth it, for touring on the cheap, as I am a student, and don't have access to a lot of money at the moment, or would it most likely have damaged the welds internally, there is no bending around the headtube or toptube or downtube, the only superficial damage is some to the chainstays where there is an inch long chip in the paint.

check the tubes near the head tube for bulging but being steel its prob ok a lbs should be able to check it if your really worried if its your size its a bargain0

If it's steel and it looks straight, no paint cracks around the headtube etc then it's likely to be OKMake mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
